That is factually false. The reason they could be sent as quickly was that the transfer had been planned for months and after training and preparations is was about time to deliver the first system.

One theory is that Russia started the terror campaign to get ahead of the upgrading of Ukraine's air defences that was in progress.

Agreed, people making baseless assertions when the facts are easily obtainable.

We get it that Ukraine needs more AA systems but the S-300 platform they deploy is sufficient enough.

They simply need more of said platform to increase the efficacy rate of their interceptions. They also are familiar with the S-300 platform meaning no training is required.
