The Netherlands, in collaboration with another country, will supply Ukraine with a Patriot air defense system, confirmed Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren. This initiative follows the Netherlands' previous provision of Patriot launchers to Ukraine. As part of the Dutch initiative, a radar and three launchers were recently allocated. Ukraine currently has four Patriot/SAMP-T systems, with five more expected to arrive. For a robust defense against Russia, Ukraine would need an additional six to seven systems.
