According to the head of state, the parties are ready to take cooperation to a new level and begin joint production of one of the most important elements of the air defense system – interceptor missiles for Patriot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I am grateful for the company’s willingness to take our partnership to an even higher level, when Ukraine will jointly produce with Raytheon one of the most important air defense assets – interceptors for Patriot,” Zelenskyy noted.<\/p>\n
