Overview
- President Volodymyr Zelensky said the German portion of the multistate PAC-3 package agreed at the latest Ramstein meeting arrived yesterday.
- The package totals roughly 35 interceptors, with about 30 sourced from European partners and five from Bundeswehr reserves under a plan pushed by Defence Minister Boris Pistorius.
- Germany’s Defence Ministry confirmed preparations for deliveries but has not disclosed exact quantities or timelines for security reasons.
- Reports cite contributions from countries including the Netherlands, with earlier non-binding pledges now enabling the transfer.
- Ukraine faces high consumption and tight supply, using an estimated 60 PAC-3s per month and having received about 600 since 2022, while U.S. and Gulf forces have expended hundreds to over 1,000 in recent weeks.
