They also were of the opinion that Putin was bluffing about invading Ukraine. Well, except for Biden.

so what are they
you can leave out any details you think might be a security problem
does not make that big a diff in the long run
if they can drive 5 miles and fire 40 rounds that is pretty much an average battle life anyway

The Patriot is a highly complex system to operate, and typically takes U.S. soldiers up to a year to learn. But after just a few weeks, the Ukrainians were already able to independently set up and operate the system against a simulated threat in under 45 minutes, which is the U.S. Army’s standard. They complete this “culminating event” two or three times a day to get in as much practice as possible before heading back to Europe, according to one U.S. trainer.
Once the Ukrainians wrap up instruction in Fort Sill in the next few days, they will head to an undisclosed location in Europe to join another group of trainees who are completing a parallel course with the Dutch and German militaries, said Army spokesperson Col. Martin O’Donnell. There, they will complete final checks on the two donated Patriot systems, one from the U.S. and one combining components from Germany and the Netherlands, before heading back to Ukraine with the new equipment in the coming weeks.

First time I hear Dutch are training them on Patriot too. Now I understand the Dutch general who said weeks ago training would only last 6 weeks.

‘Absolutely a quick study:’ Ukrainians master Patriot system faster than expected
“They are the best of the best in what they do in air defense for Ukraine," a U.S. general said.

fine platform just have to feel for them in the spring in one that’s all. Highly automotive designs but the best. It would bring a great joy to my heart to think our old tank took the life of an orc. Glowing like a proud parent I will be lol

Some speculation here in OZ about the carrots and sticks available and preferred by XI & co......
Xi has invested some credibility in brokering an improvement; he might want a nice Belt & Road corridor through UKR, which would require certain things..... and a strong RUS probably not in his interests either.
Ideas anyone?
PRC capable of walking both sides of many roads, in our experience.

Yes, the Belt and Road rail was link was to go through Ukraine due to Ukraine still having Russian gauge. However, the Ukrainian plan is to rebuild with standard gauge. Aside from the break of gauge, there's apt to be some sort of DMZ someday between Russia and Ukraine rather than a border goods and people go across.
