Rumor is Patriot missile system #2 in Kiev is being pulled by the US to avoid being lost. This is after the loss of 5 batteries and a radar after less than a month of deployment.

It would likely give Russia more practice on how to defeat the system as well as being fairly expensive as the entire system and missiles could be up to $2B in replacement costs due to inflation.

@thendrix It's rather odd that such a system would be deployed. From the damage reported it sounds like a test variant.
