• The United States is sending two Patriot missile batteries to Poland as a 'defensive deployment'
• The missiles are designed to counter and destroy incoming short-range ballistic missiles, advanced aircraft and cruise missiles
• Kamala Harris will arrive in Poland on Wednesday for a three-day visit to Warsaw and the Romanian capital, Bucharest
• The White House said the trip was designed to see how the US can further support Ukraine's neighboring nations
• Her high-stakes visit comes after the Pentagon poured cold water on Poland's offer to hand all its MiG-29 fighter jets to the US
• The idea has been floating around for more than a week after Ukraine pleaded for more aircraft
• Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said on Tuesday night the deal was unworkable and would cause serious concerns for the 'entire NATO alliance'
• The plan to deliver Soviet-era planes to Ukraine has stalled over fears it could escalate Russian aggression
• Poland said it was placing the jets at the 'disposal of the government of the United States of America'
• That suggests Poland is trying to push Washington to go further in backing Ukraine with weaponry
• Biden administration officials said the Polish announcement had taken them by surprise
• In the Kyiv suburb of Iripin, 20 miles from the city center, there were reports of hand-to-hand combat between Russian invaders and Ukrainian defense forces

Patriot missiles are being sent by the United States to Poland to ramp up their protection against possible attack, it was confirmed on Tuesday, as Vice President Kamala Harris was en route to the NATO member country for talks about how best to shore up Ukraine's efforts to stop the Russian invasion.

Harris will land in Warsaw on Wednesday at the start of a three-day trip that will also see her visit Romania.

Her visit has been complicated by the Pentagon hours before her arrival pouring cold water on Poland's offer to hand all its MiG-29 fighter jets to the U.S., apparently as part of an arrangement to deliver the warplanes to Ukraine's armed forces where they are desperately needed to fight off invading Russian forces.

The idea has been floating around for more than a week after Ukraine pleaded for more aircraft, but the plan has been dogged by questions about how to deliver the planes to Ukrainian territory without dragging NATO into the conflict.

But Pentagon press secretary John F. Kirby said on Tuesday night the deal was unworkable and would cause serious concerns for the 'entire NATO alliance.'

The U.S. is now sending two Patriot missile batteries to Poland as a 'defensive deployment,' a spokesman for U.S. European Command (EUCOM) said on Tuesday night.

Patriots are air defense missile systems designed to counter and destroy incoming short-range ballistic missiles, advanced aircraft and cruise missiles.

Capt. Adam Miller, spokesman for EUCOM said in a statement: 'At the direction of the Secretary of Defense and at the invitation of our Polish allies, General Wolters, Commander, of US European Command has directed US Army Europe and Africa to reposition two Patriot Batteries to Poland.

'This is a prudent force protection measure that underpins our commitment to Article Five and will in no way support any offensive operations.

'Every step we take is intended to deter aggression and reassure our allies.'

Article Five is the section of the NATO agreement which states that if one NATO member is attacked, all must come to their aid.

The situation around Kyiv, meanwhile, was deteriorating, with reports of hand-to-hand combat in Irpin, 20 miles northwest of the capital.

'There is real street fighting now,' said Stas, a Ukrainian paratrooper lieutenant.

'In some places, there is hand-to-hand combat,' he told AFP.

'There is a huge column - 200 men, 50 light armored vehicles, several tanks,' he said of the Russian threat.

'We are trying to push them out, but I don't know if we'll be fully able to do it. The situation is very unstable.'

On Sunday, Tatiana Perebeynos, 43, her two children, Alise, 9, and Nikita, 18, and a man they were traveling with were killed when Russian forces indiscriminately fired on the town. The shocking images were captured by a New York Times team on the scene.

Patriot missile defence system in action

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG8wF1o6r58

All these countries just get other names. They are all USA in disguise.

It has been proven time without number that Americas patriot missiles defence systems have nothing on Russian supersonic missiles. The Americans know this. All of them at North Atlantic Terrorist organization know this. Russia is well aware too. Yet, the west continues to act as if their gragra impresses anyone.. They are slowly saturating the whole of the Russian borders with all sorts of war machine. Any slip, we are in for a major world conflict. The West can't do without wars.

Russias Air defence systems are the best in the market. Do your checks. You start to ask yourself why the west are desperately trying to over dramatize their much vaunted support for Ukraine. They are arming the Ukrainians with stinger missiles and all sorts of anti tank weapons. What this means is that Russian tanks may avoid invading the inner cities and may simply decide to stay at the outskirts to pulverize cities like Kiev and Odessa into oblivion! Who losses lives and properties? Ukraine!

The West should stop using the lives of people in developing countries as cannon fodders..

Russias S - 500
Latest Air defence system..

Not one Israeli or Turkish plane has been shot down by the Russian missile defence systems in Syria. As with all Russia technology , it’s hype in the show room and trash on the battle field.

The USA does not chest beat like Russia , they know what they are capable of. Let Russia keep fooling around, it won’t be long before they are taught a bitter lesson.

This is a powerful system

The refusal to shoot down any of the Israeli or Turkish jets over Syria is DELIBERATE! These nations know how to operate in conflict zones without initiating fresh conflicts amongst themselves. When Benjamin Netanyahu was the prime minister, he was always visiting Moscow to reach agreements over sundry issues related to Syria. Even the present Israeli Prime Minister just visited Moscow few days ago, so the relationship between the two countries is relatively cordial, even if tense sometimes... As for Turkey, they actually ditched the socalled patriot missiles being used by NATO and ordered Russias S - 400 Air Defence systems! They're even trying to order more from Russia in the face of Americas objections...

You are the drunk buffoon here..
If you're my neighbor and all you do is to get my worst enemies to relocate their most dangerous weapons to my backyard, I will cut off your head to stop that in time! That's what a leadership with character should do.. That's what Russia is doing! Blame the Ukrainians who wanted NATO to erect all sorts of military staging posts at Russias backyard. They asked for it and its being served hot in Kiev as we speak...

What weapons have been relocated to Russia’s backward ? Also, have you heard about sovereignty and self determination ? Do you think that a woman should be forced to bond with an abusive and violent husband ?

Ukraine had a referendum and started moving towards NATO membership. If they become a member of NATO, it means that if you attack Ukraine, NATO members will attack you since the doctrine of NATO stipulates that "an attack on one is an attack on all"... That's too dangerous a game to play when your next door neighbor is a world super power. They were warned to move back but the comedian in power recklessly moved on.

Russia had to attack. It's better to obliterate the danger from Ukraine today than to fight the whole NATO tomorrow, since the two countries have different flashpoints that will attract conflicts in the future and get NATO involved if the Ukrainian membership is accepted. Eg Crimea...
That you don't want to bond with an "abusive husband" is not enough reason for you to go and hire wayward assassin to kill him..

Analyst. What did Russia do to Turkey when Turks shot down a Russian fighter jet in Syria?

I don't argue like a blind bat!
I told you that for their Air defence systems, The Turks depend on Russia. This is no secret , it's in the public domain! Google it. When Turkey ordered for those S - 400, they were the best in the market. America hated that and actually stopped selling stuff to Turkey so that their systems are not compromised... The range of the S -400 is the farthest and the system can simultaneously engage multiple targets. Google it and stop being obnoxious!
And btw, The Russians have improved on that. A new system, S - 500 was commissioned last year! Much better than this one.. So if The Turks depend on Russia for their Air Defence systems, how is their Air defence better than that of the Russians then?
Argue intelligently..
