great news.  Would you know how many Patriot systems they would have?  It's gotta be more than the dozen that they had b4 the mass influx of aid this year, perhaps 20 systems?

I think you're confusing launchers with batteries, Ukraine has 3 Patriot Batteries from Germany, 2 from America (not sure if the 2nd has arrived yet). Batteries are the whole component, which is a radar, control station, power generator and launchers, typically 6-8 launchers per battery. Ukraine has ~5 batteries, will probably have ~10 if these 3 additional Patriots are entire batteries.

Ok,  yeah..... what you are calling a launcher, I am calling a system.  But answered question so thanks much.
