The US State Department has approved a possible $2.1 billion sale of 500 PAC-3 MSE missiles for Ukraine’s Patriot systems. Canada, Germany and Norway will finance the package, which also includes spare parts, logistics and technical support. No delivery timeline was announced. That is important, as the missiles are likely to come from new production rather than existing US stocks, which have been heavily drawn down during the war with Iran.
