Against the backdrop of Russiaās aggressive war against Ukraine, NATO signed a contract with the German arms manufacturer Comlog to supply up to 1,000 missiles for the Patriot air defense system. It was at these complexes that another group of Ukrainians recently underwent training. The company from Schrobenhausen, Upper Bavaria, is to supply missiles, spare parts and test systems with which the Allies want to strengthen their air defense systems. This was announced by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency.

Ā«The investment is a sign of the strength of the military alliancehe explained NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, commenting on this statement. ā Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian civilians, cities and towns show how important modern air defense is.ā
Comlog is a subsidiary of the arms manufacturers Raytheon (USA) and MBDA (Europe), which specialize in servicing Patriot missiles. According to NATO, the company will receive about 5.5 billion euros for the contract. This will make it possible to build a plant for the production of missiles for Patriot in Germany, said the executive director of MBDA, Thomas Gottschild.
Earlier it was reported that Olaf Scholz promised further military aid to Ukraine.
