Big trouble for Putin as Trump plans to give Ukraine THIS Brahmastra, it can strike 20 targets at once, has speed of…, name is…
US President Trump said late Thursday that he is “very disappointed” with the conversation he had with Russian President Vladimir Putin and reiterated that he made “no progress” in ending the three-year war in Ukraine, The Hill reported. “I’m very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin because I don’t think he’s there. I’m just saying, I don’t think he’s looking to stop, and that’s too bad,” Trump told reporters late Thursday night after landing back in Washington after his rally in Des Moines, Iowa.
Later, US President Donald Trump said that Ukraine would need Patriot missiles for defense. He made this statement later, after speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday. Trump also expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin for his failure to end the war.
In response to a question about whether the United States would send more Patriot missiles to Ukraine, as requested by President Zelenskyy, Trump told a leading daily, “They’re going to need them for defense… They’re going to need something because they’re being hit pretty hard.”
Zelenskiy stated that he agreed to bolster Kyiv’s capacity to “defend the sky” in light of increasing Russian attacks. He said in a Telegram post that he also talked about joint defense production with the President of the United States, as well as joint purchases and joint investments. Ukraine has been asking Washington for more Patriot missiles, and associated systems, as Ukraine sees that these systems are critical to protect its cities from intensifying Russian air strikes.
Washington’s announcement to pause certain weapon shipments to Ukraine raised alarm in Kyiv, cautioning that any pause in the flow of weapons would curtail Ukraine’s ability to defend against Russian air strikes and ground forces. At the same time, Germany announced talks to acquire Patriot air defense systems to fill the gap. A source familiar with the Trump-Zelensky call told Reuters about the possible resumption of Patriot missile supplies, describing the conversation between the two presidents as “very good.”
What is the Brahmastra “Patriot missile system” capable of?
The Patriot missile system is the United States’ most advanced air defense system. Constructed by Raytheon Technologies, it can function like an “air shield” against aerial attacks. One of the standout features about it is that it can seek and track targets up to 5,000 kilometers away, and intercept incoming targets at speeds of more than 5,800 kilometers each hour.
Why is this missile a serious threat to Putin and Russia?
The Patriot system can recognize and intercept 20 aerial targets simultaneously. It is entirely radar-guided, making it exceedingly fast and precise. Its key advantage is its ability to shoot down enemy missiles, drones, and fighter jets mid-air. This is why Ukraine considers the Patriot system as an integral shield for its cities.
Why is this missile considered a big threat to Putin?
Trump said he also discussed Ukraine’s request for Patriot missiles with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, but no decision had yet been made to provide the advanced weapons. U.S. news outlet Axios cited unnamed sources saying the Trump-Zelenskiy call lasted roughly 40 minutes. During the call, Trump told Zelenskiy that he would see if any U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine were halted.
Speaking in his regular video address, Zelenskiy said he had spoken to Trump who said he would “arrange a meeting between our teams to strengthen air defences.” This conversation occurred a day after Trump called his discussion with Putin disappointing.
