A Ukrainian Antonov An-124 strategic cargo plane arrived at Ben Gurion International Airport this morning from Leipzig/Halle, Germany. This flight coincides with President Volodymyr Zelensky"s confirmation last week that Ukraine has operationalized its first Israeli-supplied MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air battery, with two additional batteries expected to be delivered by the end of the year.
There is speculation that the An-124 may be transporting sensitive equipment or components related to the Patriot systems, although officials have not provided any details. This arrival represents a significant development in Israel"s support for Ukraine amid ongoing tensions in the region.
