European allies announce Patriot missile deliveries and funding for Ukraine air defenses ahead of winter

The UK committed £100 million to bolster Ukraine's air defenses, including Patriot missiles, artillery rounds, and drones. Germany announced delivery of PAC-2 interceptor missiles from its national stocks. European nations are also planning to purchase US-made Patriot missiles, and Ukraine's defense minister said Kyiv is contracting around 1,000 Patriot missiles with allied help and EU financing, though most would arrive in coming years.
