The Netherlands has handed over three Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. They will protect the country's vital infrastructure.

This was announced by Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans on social network X on Thursday, November 28.

Patriot for Ukraine

Brekelmans noted that Ukrainians will face a difficult winter as Russia's devastating air strikes continue.

"That is why we handed over three Patriot launchers. They are saving lives and protecting vital infrastructure," Brekelmans says.

To recap, in October, another Patriot missile defense system arrived in Ukraine, provided by Romania.

We also wrote that the Russian military has lost its advantage in intelligence. We are talking about reconnaissance drones that corrected missile attacks on Patriot air defense batteries.
