The Wall Street Journal writes: By providing large-scale air defense systems to Ukraine and NATO's eastern flank, Germany has effectively lost reliable air protection.
The report said Germany's large-scale transfer of air defense systems to Ukraine and NATO's eastern flank left Germany vulnerable to a possible air strike. RIA “News” related to the newspaper Wall Street Journal. According to the publication, this was indicated by the officials he interviewed.
“Berlin has transferred most of its systems to Ukraine and NATO's eastern flank, leaving Germany poorly protected from air attacks,” the publication said.
The authors of the document note that after the transfer of the main arsenal of air defense systems, Germany remained poorly protected from the air.

Russia, as emphasized, believes that providing weapons to Kiev hinders the resolution of the conflict, directly pulls NATO countries into a confrontation situation and is “playing with fire”. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that any cargo containing weapons destined for Ukraine would be considered a legitimate target by Moscow.
As VZGLYAD newspaper wrote, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated about the impossibility of providing Ukraine with additional Patriot air defense systems due to the expected replacement of the delivered systems.
Berlin discuss with Washington, the restoration of German arsenals after delivery to Kiev.
