Time for Europe to step in. They saw this coming anyway.
Unfortunately Europe can't produce and send patriot missiles to feed UA air defense, and cruelly lack of air defense system (for what I know : I don't).
I guarantee you that the moment Ukraine received one of the Patriot missile systems, they reverse engineeed it. These are smart and highly resourceful people
They have f-16s now too. This allows them to use western air-to-air missiles in addition to air-to-ground, increasing the variety of options people have for giving them stuff.
Here's a couple of things that are going on
Gravehawk
5000 thales from UK
Aster 30 B1NT early days but Europe has already started
Also German support with 6 Iris-T in Ukraine already and another 6 being worked on. Also 56 Gepards and 2 Skynex systems. https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-en/news/military-support-ukraine-2054992
