Israel retires its Patriot air defense systems. But amid a very public clamoring in Ukraine for exactly such systems, analysts say it is unlikely the Israeli systems would be sent to Kyiv.
Israel would need America’s permission to sell the US-made system, but they could also be sold back to the US and then sent elsewhere.

Lloyd Austin, US Secretary of Defense, has asked countries which have Patriot systems to hand them over to Ukraine to strengthen its air defence.
"There are countries that have Patriots, and so what we are doing is continuing to engage those countries. I have talked to the leaders of several countries myself in the last two weeks, encouraging them to give up more capability or provide more capability," Austin said.
However, he did not specify who exactly he discussed the aid for Ukraine with.
