Patriot protected a critically important nodal station connected to the Ukrainian railway. The German leadership decided to place several Patrioth batteries in Poland after a resonant case in the Polish village of Pshevodau in November last year. According to the investigation, the Ukrainian air defense rocket, which was tried to knock down the Russian rocket, rejected from the course and fell on the territory of Poland.
The decision on Patriot was made against the background of fears that hostilities could extend beyond Ukraine. But in August this year, the German defense department was warned that they did not plan to extend the initiative for longer than a year, since these "Patriots" will either need either NATO for a rapid response for 2024 or have the necessary maintenance and repair. Already on Friday, German soldiers will complete their operations in Poland, and next week they will be relocated.
