U.S. manufacturers of the Patriot system, Raytheon and Lockheed, have stated they will not transfer licenses for the production of Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine. According to The Atlantic, the companies fear theft of intellectual property and the broader transfer of technology. They also worry that Ukrainian specialists could improve the Patriot system and set up mass production of the missiles, which they view as a security risk.
