Ukraine to Boost Patriot Missile Production, Defense Chief Says

The Ukrainian military wants to accelerate the production of anti-ballistic missiles for Patriot air-defense systems to help protect against Russian attacks, according to Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

Kyiv urgently needs the air-defense hardware and is looking to create joint consortiums with partners to step up production of hardware aimed at stopping ballistic missiles, Fedorov said.
