The report says Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway have agreed to participate in financing the purchase.

“Our customers are already realising the benefits of bundled, multi-national procurement of Patriot missiles through NSPA, including the economies that offer greater affordability and the pre-negotiated contracting framework that shortens the acquisition timeline,” said Tom Laliberti, president of Raytheon’s Land and Air Defence Systems.

GEM-T, a Patriot Advanced Capability 2 (PAC-2) missile interceptor enhanced to defeat tactical ballistic missiles, is the primary weapon to complement the battle-tested Patriot air and missile defence system.
