3rd Patriot air defense system from Germany arrives in Ukraine

The third Patriot air defense system was brought to Ukraine from Germany. On July 5, the German ambassador to Ukraine, Martin Jaeger, announced this on X.

"The third Patriot air defense system from Germany has already arrived in Ukraine. It will strengthen the protection of the country's population and infrastructure against aircraft, drones and missiles.

The Ukrainian crew of the system has successfully completed relevant training in Germany in recent months,” the diplomat wrote.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the U.S. and several European countries will give Ukraine three Patriot air defense systems from Romania, Germany and the Netherlands, and several other countries will provide additional missiles to them.
