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.
