The German Defense Ministry announced on Friday that it will deliver two Patriot launchers to Ukraine in the coming days, followed by additional components in the next two to three months. The surface-to-air missile system is made in the United States and Germany has been in talks with the Trump administration for its purchase to boost Ukraine's air defense.
"Highly efficient air defense systems like the PATRIOT system are in short supply, and the production of some components takes years. Germany has already delivered three systems to Ukraine, which play an important role in Ukraine's air defense," the ministry said. It added that it reached an agreement with the US Department of Defense allowing Germany to be the first nation to receive "newly produced, latest-generation PATRIOT systems at an accelerated pace."

Game changer, LOL
From the headline, I at first thought that Germany found two guys who actually said, “I love the Fatherland!” and so Germany immediately deported those fools to Ukraine.
Brady and Gronk?
Yeah, what about those thousands of Ukrainian patriots we allowed to stay in the US.
As I understand it, they generally fire 2 patriots per incoming target, sometimes 4. I believe production of Patriots tops out at around 800 per year. I think even a zeeper can see the folly.
Their names are Fritz and Jurgen, and they’re from Schleswig-Holstein.

“I think even a zeeper can see the folly.”
Something about a drop in the bucket.
Exactly what I thought.
President Trump informed Switzerland of delays in the delivery of Patriot air defense systems due to a decision to prioritize shipments to Ukraine to help make this possible.
Patriots are used to intercept ballistic missiles.
Drones and cruise missiles which are much slower are intercepted with other systems, like the HAWK. We have 40,000 Hawk missiles in our stockpile, that will never be used.

Making an assumption, then drawing a conclusion based on that assumption of highly classified information. Excellent logic and reasoning, not.
Two Patriots ? A joke? Vlad has already taken out six Patriot batteries confirmed, with more unconfirmed.
When do the Ukie war cheerleaders realize Vlad has been very successful in eliminating most ALL western welfare equipment, M777, Leopards, M1’s, Bradley’s, Strykers, MRAP’s, and on and on and on.
Such a massive waste of taxpayers money. Stupidity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results! Carry on, Fools.
LOL, not a chance.
Obviously, the US and EU, with a combined GDP of around $60 trillion dollars, have no hope against a country with an economy the size of a US state. Given the facts at hand it shouldn’t be a surprise that only the intellectually disabled are attracted to Putin’s fake and Potemkin Russia.
We are starting to see a trend?
2022: As of recent reports, Russia occupies roughly 18-20% of Ukraine’s territory. This includes Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine. The exact percentage can fluctuate with ongoing conflict and territorial changes.
2023: As of recent reports, Russia occupies roughly 18-20% of Ukraine’s territory. This includes Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine. The exact percentage can fluctuate with ongoing conflict and territorial changes.
2024: As of recent reports, Russia occupies roughly 18-20% of Ukraine’s territory. This includes Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine. The exact percentage can fluctuate with ongoing conflict and territorial changes.
2025: As of recent reports, Russia occupies roughly 18-20% of Ukraine’s territory. This includes Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine. The exact percentage can fluctuate with ongoing conflict and territorial changes.

Duh ... they don’t fire patriots at drones ...
Even Peepers know that!
😂😂🤣🤣
