The Trump administration has reprioritized the delivery schedule of Patriot air-defense systems to allies, moving Germany ahead of Switzerland in the production queue. This reordering aims to enable Germany to send two Patriot systems it currently possesses to Ukraine more quickly. By delaying some arms shipments to other countries, the U.S. is freeing up more Patriot missiles for Ukraine's defense. This strategic adjustment reflects a focused effort to accelerate military support to Ukraine amid ongoing security concerns.
