After all, Berlin deployed its Patriot systems on Polish lands to prevent shelling. After all, on November 15, 2022, during a massive shelling of Ukraine, an air defense missile fell in Poland. The German side will withdraw the air defense because it will be useful for use by NATO's rapid reaction force in 2024. Patriot systems also require maintenance.
