Media: Germany delivered three Patriot systems to Ukraine

Germany has already delivered three Patriot systems to Kyiv and is negotiating with the US about supplying additional systems.
As Oxu.Az reports, this is according to The Washington Post (WP) newspaper, citing sources.
"Berlin has already transferred three [Patriot] systems to Ukraine and is negotiating with Washington about supplying additional ones and receiving replacements, officials said," the article states.
US President Donald Trump stated on July 14 that Washington has decided to continue transferring weapons and military equipment to Kyiv if Europe pays for such supplies.
As the publication notes, the cost of one Patriot battery can exceed $1 billion, and anti-missiles cost about $4 million per unit. "Just as important as the question of who will pay is the problem of where these systems will be supplied from. Ukraine's supporters have been reluctant to give up their Patriot systems for several months. American and European officials say this could leave them unprotected, and point to production schedule delays," the newspaper writes.
"The latest agreements do not solve this problem - someone will still have to give up a battery, but Trump's decision has revitalized negotiations. The country that donates a Patriot, whether from existing stocks or from a batch ready for delivery, may receive priority or more favorable terms for replacement," the article notes.
As two sources of the newspaper noted, other supplies may include radars, electronic warfare systems, drone interception tools, and artillery.
