The Netherlands Provides Ukraine with Patriot Radar and Plans to Deliver Three Launchers

The Netherlands has delivered a radar system for the Patriot anti-aircraft missile complex to Ukraine and plans to send three launchers in the near future

This was confirmed by Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans, as reported by De Gelderlander.

Brekelmans stated that while the radar has already been sent, other components of the Patriot system are still being coordinated. Discussions with several international partners are ongoing to secure the remaining parts needed to complete the system.

"We're still working on it," the minister said, noting that the Ministry of Defense was recently informed that one of the allies would not meet its earlier obligations to deliver components, though the specific country was not named.

In related news, Finland announced additional defense equipment for Ukraine, marking its 25th delivery of military aid. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s efforts to train pilots for F-16 jets continue, with advanced training taking place in Canada for a group of Ukrainian pilots.
