Madrid will supply a limited set of long-range Patriot anti-aircraft interceptor missiles, Defense Minister Margarita Robles stated on April 26 at a meeting of the Ramstein group. She added that interceptor missiles will arrive at the NATO logistics hub in Poland "in four days."
Nonetheless, Ukraine's hopes to get new Patriot launchers from Spain or Greece have been dashed, according to Politico. Earlier Volodymyr Zelensky urged NATO to provide Ukraine with at least seven high-grade air defense system batteries.
Spanish newspaper El Pais reported on Friday that Madrid won't provide one of its three Patriots to Ukraine.
"No one should think that the Patriot missiles could become a game changer […] In fact, they failed to do that before. The Patriots have demonstrated their mediocrity," geopolitical analyst Fernando Moragon told Sputnik Mundo, referring to Russia knocking out US-made Patriots deployed by the enemy at the front line and in cities.
