German MoD Pistorius urges western NATO allies to deliver more Patriot systems, after GER pledged a third system.

1. and F-16s please also.

2. It’s a top priority. Europe needs to move their Patriot systems from areas where they are not needed right now, to areas where they are needed. Badly. The cost in Ukrainian lives and destruction by the Russian Terrorist State is unbearable.

3. You don’t win a fight by dodging punches. But yes, of course everyone is for dodging punches (missiles).

4. I think the Patriot has proven itself worth its weight in gold.

   Eventually the whole Eastern front of NATO will be a mix of Patriot and Gepard systems once enough can get ordered and built to backfill the ones Ukraine will get.

   I don’t think anyone else in recent history has done more to reinvigorate NATO than Putin, well done, idiot!

5. Pretty ironic for Germany to now be lecturing considering how long western allies have been telling Germany to get serious about military donations. How are those long-range missile donations coming along?

6. I understand air defences are important but it is unsustainable using billion dollar Patriot systems with million dollar missiles for years against Russian swarm attacks. You must eventually target the source. The fact Germany says they will never send these Taurus missiles misses this obvious point of warfare. If you never destroy the source of the attacks then you’ll always be defending.

7. I wouldnt be surprised to see another SAMPT but not before the end of the Olympics in September

8. Great! but in the meantime they should find ways to destroy the source of all incoming attacks. Otherwise how long can this continue vs increasing ruzzian production of missiles and drones? fucking madman Putler could order full retreat but still continue bombing ukrainian cities for years.
