General Cavoli highly praised the effectiveness of the use of Patriot by the AFU
This was stated by EUCOM Commander General Christopher Cavoli, citing Twitter account of The Insider journalist Colby Badhwar.
This is a success story. To be honest, at first I was a little skeptical (that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would quickly master the Patriot air defense system - ed.), because these are very complex systems. We train our guys for a very long time so that they can operate such systems, - said Cavoli, speaking before US senators.
According to him, the Ukrainians taught their military to use complex systems very quickly, and "they took to it like a fish to water."
Here's then EUCOM Commander General Cavoli testifying that he initially doubted the Ukrainians ability to use PATRIOT, but they have become so proficient with it that the US Army is now learning from them.
