Germany's budget committee has approved the purchase of an additional 4 PATRIOT Fire Units in the PAC-3 configuration for ~$1.46 billion. They already have 4 PAC-3 Fire Units on order from Raytheon via a $1.2 billion Direct Commercial Sale contract, signed in March. With a total of 3 of their older PATRIOT FUs committed to Ukraine, this procurement of 8 new FUs is a significant expansion of the Luftwaffe's air defense force.

Also included is 100 PAC-2 GEM missiles.
