Awesome news, I just saw Reuters report on it as well.

Germany is working on the supply of an additional Patriot air defence missile system to Ukraine in the winter months, Olaf Scholz said on Thursday.

Really hope this is an actual fully fledged system because I've seen in the past news sites become mixed up between a launcher and the entire system so people thought it was a new system being sent but it was just an additional launcher. Patriot has a great range and is such a capable system that I feel like even only a few more would be extremely significant, it doesn't have to be dozens.

On the flip side, I see Scholz straight up says this, Lol.

"We must of course ensure that there is no escalation of the war and that Germany does not become part of the conflict," Scholz said.

Finally clear what they send. A Patriot system with 8 launchers + command and radar units. It's part of a "Winter package" which will also include one more IRIS-T system, 10 more Leo 1 and 3 Gepard + some APCs and medical vehicles. 

Ukraine will also get two more IRIS-T systems this October. One for short range and one for the mid range.

This is an awesome package, love to see another Patriot being sent. IRIS-T is great as well.

Be very good to help defend Ukraine's civilians and infrastructure over Winter.

Is that now x2 Patriot Systems from Germany and x1 from America?

If other countries only send one each then that would probably be enough...
