The situation with the delivery of the Patriot to Ukraine may begin to improve only in a year, when it will begin to transfer interceptor missiles, their production in Europe. Kiev is expected to receive 600 German-made PAC-2 missiles in 2027 and 2028, and a new contract to manufacture PAC-3 missiles in Poland was announced late last month. Now the European cartridges of Patriots are at a minimal level, so the armed forces of various countries do not want to transfer them to Ukraine without a firm commitment from the United States to supply new groups. The idea of ​​giving Ukraine a license to manufacture missiles by the Americans was not implemented. The five European countries with the highest defense spending also failed to implement a low-cost air defense plan announced in February.
