Since Sunday, several C-17 Military Transports with the U.S. Air Force have flown from Ramstein Air Base in Germany, to Hatzerim Airbase in Southern Israel, before then flying to Rzeszรณw in Eastern Poland, which serves as the Hub for almost all Military Aid provided by the U.S. and NATO to Ukraine. Reports previously had suggested that Israel was considering donating Soviet Weapons and Equipment, captured recently in both Lebanon and Syria, to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including Tanks, Anti-Tank Guided-Missiles, and Ammunition; this is in addition to several โPatriotโ Surface-to-Air Missile Batteries that the Israeli Air Force was preparing to Retire, which they had also considered giving to Ukraine.

The U.S. military moved about 90 Patriot interceptors from Israel to Poland for Ukraine.
This delivery marks the largest weapons transfer from Israel to Ukraine since the invasion nearly three years ago.
Israel decommissioned its Patriot systems last April, 30 years after receiving them during the first Gulf War.
As Israel developed its defenses, Patriots were used for training or stored.
