The Patriot borders are exposed.
Germany claims that its Patriot reserves for Ukraine have been exhausted: five systems have already left the Bundeswehr's stocks, and further transfers will leave gaps in Germany's own air defense.

Pistorius is calling on other allies to do more, while previously agreed deliveries of missiles and weapons continue. Even this support structure now comes with an open acknowledgment that it has hard limits.
