Germany has agreed to deliver two Patriot systems to Ukraine after reaching an agreement with the US, allowing Berlin to receive the latest systems in return. Germany will initially support Ukraine with launchers and then additional Patriot system components. The Bundeswehr army will deliver additional Patriot launchers to Ukraine in the coming days, followed by additional system components to be handed over in two or three months. Berlin will receive new Patriot systems, for which it is providing funding, from the United States at an accelerated pace. Ukraine’s air defense needs have grown more urgent as Russia has intensified its nationwide aerial attacks this summer. Germany has already delivered three Patriot systems to Ukraine and said that sending additional systems will not affect its contribution to the NATO defence alliance.
