Germany will deliver two more Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine as part of a deal with the United States, which will fast-track replacement systems for Berlin. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said launchers will be sent in the coming days, with additional components arriving in the next few months, according to Reuters.
The agreement allows Germany to support Ukraine now without compromising its own defenses, as it will receive upgraded systems funded by Berlin from the U.S. Ukraine’s demand for air defense has grown amid intensified Russian missile strikes.
Germany has already provided three Patriot systems and says its NATO commitments remain unaffected, Reuters reported.
