Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed for the first time that Israel delivered Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv, adding two more batteries will arrive in the fall after months of speculation and denials
I expect that that means that Israel isn’t too worried about incoming ballistic missiles from Iran at this point, or they’d probably be hanging onto it.
The PAC2 will be upgraded by the Americans before being sent to Ukraine.
Don’t get me wrong, America is of course leveraging our data on take down of russian missile (and literally everything else related to the russian military) and this data is shared with Israel
There is no need to make conspiracy theories, this was already happening even before Ukraine recieved the first upgraded Israeli PAC2 Patriot system.

More likely that the batteries are outdated for their standards.

Sadly what it really means is that we are sending them new ones. I really hope Europe will stop all trade with Israel.
