Dutch Ministry Of Defence Expands Air Defence Capabilities
The Netherlands has signed a contract with Raytheon for an additional Patriot air defence system, valued at $627 million. The system will provide air defence against high-altitude, long-range threats, contributing to the protection of Dutch territory and that of its allies. The contract follows an earlier Patriot contract signed in 2025 and is expected to be delivered to and deployed by the Defence Ground-Based Air Defence Command in a few years. The order was announced by the Dutch Ministry of Defence and Raytheon, as reported by Janes.
