Germany will deliver five PAC-3 interceptors for Ukraine’s Patriot systems if other countries jointly supply 30 more, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said. Separately, partners pledged nearly $38 billion in defense aid at the Ramstein meeting. Pistorius added that state-of-the-art Ukrainian drones are now being produced in Germany as part of a joint venture. #Ukraine

@noelreports

35 missiles are not terribly much... Are these only against ballistic missiles, or why is this biggish news?

@Tuuktuuk @noelreports Yes, PAC-3 are the most capable anti-air missiles Ukraine got but also the most expensive and hardest to get. It only makes sense to use them against ballistic missiles and the most dangerous of cruise missiles (like 3M22 Zircon).
