RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: Poland secretly sent Patriot missiles to Ukraine, without informing the people and without approval by parliament. When Ukrainian newspapers reported it, Poland is now frantically searching for the whistleblowers. NATO countries face a backlog of roughly 4,300 Patriot interceptors – equivalent to about seven years of production at 2025 manufacturing rates – after US stockpiles were heavily depleted during the war with Iran. Poland says that Russia will attack, yet they give up irreplaceable defenses. They obviously don’t believe the Russian threat either.
