Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has stated that he is urging countries that have Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to transfer them to Ukraine amid a shortage of air defense stocks.

“There are countries that have Patriot, and we are continuing to negotiate with them. I've personally spoken to several leaders in the last two weeks, encouraging them to give up more equipment or provide more equipment,” he said.

It is known that in Europe, in particular, Spain, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden have Patriot batteries.

A relevant question: How many of these countries have yet needed to use those Patriot missile batteries for anything except training?
The answer being "None," it shouldn't be a difficult decision to send most of them to Ukraine; this will help avoid needing to use them in the future.
