Germany to buy additional Patriot systems worth $1.2bn

The German Ministry of Defence has signed an agreement with the US company RTX to purchase additional Patriot air defence systems.

Here's What We Know

The contract is worth USD 1.2 billion, as in addition to the launchers themselves, radar stations, a command post and means to ensure the system's operation will be supplied.

Germany has ordered the latest version of Patriot in the PAC-3MSE configuration. In total, the order is for four air defence systems, which should fill the army's need as Germany has previously transferred several systems to Ukraine.

The first deliveries will take place in 2027, and the last Patriot will be delivered in 2029.

Flashback

Patriot is an American system developed by Raytheon. It is capable of detecting, tracking and destroying airborne targets at high altitude and low speed. Advanced versions, such as the PAC-3, have improved effectiveness against ballistic missiles. This system plays a key role in air defence and the protection of strategic assets.
