This isn't including the 2 THAAD Batteries nor the 17 batteries of phase 3 Hawk that are in storage nor the 2 Batteries of Arrow nor the 2 Batteries of David Sling not the Air Defense from US Destroyer Squadron in the Eastern Mediterranean nor the Destroyer Squadron in the Red Sea nor the existing US Air defense network across CENTCOM.
The 7 Patriot batteries that Israel has in storage can very quickly be put back into action. They were only decommissioned last summer from active service.
The 17 Hawk Batteries would likely need a lot of work since they have been in storage for almost 2 decades though we don't know how much continual maintenance Israel has done with these over the years.
Saudi Arabia has
6x Patriot Battalions with 108x launchers.

Reports that the United States have being handed control of Bagram Air Base by the Taliban and C-17's have begun landing at the base along with a large amounts of equipment movement near and on the base are unsubstantiated.
Sentinel 2 imagery of the base from March 31st and April 5th 2025 shows no aircraft present and no signs of equipment movement. At Kabul on the same dates no changes in equipment and no C-17's
Probably should take a random Medium article from a guy with 92 followers and co-host of the drinking bros podcast with salt.
The OP cites a clickbait and likely AI-generated article blog poster.
Afghan Press outlet Khaama Press also wrote a piece about this with statements from Taliban spokesman
Zabihullah Mujahid denying these reports and specifically highlighted the article written by Zark Shabab on Medium.
This entire story is single source report that has now turned into circular reporting ask media for the second time in 24 hours has been duped by exactly this type of reporting
In 24 hours Ukraine has lost almost half of Kursk and have very likely have withdrawn West of the Psel River and South of the Loknya River and seeking to maintain the Russian built defenses West and South of Sudzha to defend the R-200 Road to allow for withdrawal from Kursk and counter attack at Kurilovka to retake the high ground from the North Koreans along with counter attacking the Russians at Basivka, Noven'ke, and Zhuravka in Sumy Oblast.
Ukrainian forces are likely withdrawing from Kursk to Sumy Oblast under Russian and North Korean counterattacks aimed at disrupting their retreat. A controlled withdrawal with strong rear-guard actions will allow Ukraine to withdraw to existing defenses and stabilize the front. Failure to secure withdrawal corridors will very likely result in encirclement and collapse. Maintaining layered defenses, delaying actions, and executing contingency plans prevents Russian forces from seizing the operational initiative.
Most Likely Course of Action (MLCOA)
Ukrainian forces conduct a controlled, phased withdrawal while maintaining defensive cohesion. Rear-guard elements execute delaying actions, slowing Russian advances and enabling an organized retreat to pre-designated defensive positions.
Russian forces engage retreating Ukrainian units but fail to achieve a breakthrough, preventing an operational collapse. Ukrainian forces establish new defensive positions in Sumy Oblast, stabilizing the front and limiting further Russian penetration.
Most Dangerous Course of Action (MDCOA)
Russian forces exploit gaps in Ukrainian defenses, executing a high-tempo assault that overwhelms rear-guard elements. Ukrainian units become disorganized under pressure, leading to a loss of command and control. Russian forces rapidly advance, cutting off key withdrawal routes and isolating Ukrainian units.
Ukrainian defenses within Sumy Oblast collapse, leading to an unstructured retreat or encirclement, placing the city of Sumy at risk of capture.
Key factors in Ukraine maintaining a secure phased withdrawal.
1. Ukrainian forces must maintain control over layered defensive positions along withdrawal routes to prevent Russian envelopment.
2. Rear-guard elements must conduct delaying operations to slow Russian advances and allow for an organized retreat.
3. Continuous monitoring of Russian movements is necessary to detect and counter potential envelopment maneuvers.
4. In the case of a Russian breakthrough Ukrainian forces must execute pre-planned fallback strategies to secondary defensive lines to prevent further collapse.
5. Maintaining discipline in withdrawal operations and prioritizing defensive depth, Ukrainian forces can minimize losses and prevent Russian forces from dictating the operational tempo from Kursk into Sumy Oblast.
So update on the Murder of Vermont Border Patrol Agent David Maland
VT Digger has been doing a great job on reporting
Suspects in Vermont were connected with a cult called the Zizians a radical offshoot of the Rationalist movement and is described as a murder gang
Youngblut, and Bauckholt had been under surveillance since Jan. 14, when an employee of a hotel in Lyndonville, Vermont, reported seeing the pair dressed in black tactical clothing and protective equipment, according to the affidavit. The employee also told officials that they observed Youngblut carrying a holstered firearm. Vermont State Police and Department of Homeland Security investigators approached Youngblut and Bauckholt that day, according to the affidavit, but the pair “declined to have an extended conversation.” Youngblut and Bauckholt allegedly told investigators they were “in the vicinity to look at purchasing property,” and checked out of the hotel that afternoon.
Multiple Border Patrol agents in three vehicles pulled over Teresa Youngblut and, Felix Bauckholt, for an immigration inspection around 3 p.m. on Jan. 20, according to an FBI affidavit. During the traffic stop, Youngblut drew and fired a handgun toward at least one agent without warning, Bauckholt also attempted to draw a firearm, according to the affidavit, and at least one Border Patrol agent fired at the pair with his 9mm service weapon.
FBI agents who searched the car found a ballistic helmet, night-vision goggles, 48 rounds of ammunition, used shooting range targets, and a dozen electronic devices, according to the affidavit. Authorities also found cell phones wrapped in aluminum foil at the scene.
A third associate Maximilian Snyder who has filed marriage paperwork with Teresa Youngblut was arrested in California for Jan. 17 2025 stabbing death of Curtis Lind in Vallejo California.
Snyder, Youngblut, Bauckholt are also suspects in a double homicide in Pennsylvania.
Curtis Lind the man murdered by Synder had in 2022 been severely injured in the violent dispute with tenants who where part of this cult group and a search of the property turned up used surgical equipment, more than a dozen laptops, and expensive electronics stashed inside the cargo trucks where the alleged assailants lived, which were registered in Vermont.
Youngblut had a shared leased of a property in Shelburne Vermont and had traveled abroad in 2022, 2023, 2024. The German may have also been involved in a shooting in Vermont
