The Netherlands, in collaboration with another unnamed country, will supply Ukraine with a Patriot air defense system. This announcement was made by Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren. Previously, the Netherlands had supplied Ukraine with Patriot launchers. The new system, a MIM-104 Patriot battery, will be assembled from various parts to form a complete unit. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities against Russia. Currently, Ukraine has four Patriot/SAMP-T systems, with five more expected to arrive. However, it is estimated that an additional six to seven systems are needed for a robust defense. The NL Times reported this development.
