The Patriots are seriously needed, that's a fact, because next to no one can supply ammunition for the Ukrainian S-300. Debating the Polish motivation is a waste of time IMHO. One thing I'd add is that Patriot != Patriot, this is a common name for essentially completely different weapon systems (air defense systems, but from different eras). Same as the S-300. So it could be that US is supplying some really old Patriots that would still work fine for taking down Kh-55 and Kalibr missiles. I don't think we know what exact Patriot battery configuration Ukraine will receive.
