Slovakia starts deploying Patriot air defence system - minister
PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Patriot air defence system has started arriving in Slovakia from NATO partner countries and the deployment will continue in the coming days, Slovakia's defence minister said on Sunday.
The system will be operated by German and Dutch troops and will initially be deployed at the Sliac airport in central Slovakia to help reinforce the defence of NATO's eastern flank.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has prompted the alliance to bolster its defences.
The Patriot system will be part of a new NATO battlegroup in Slovakia, which neighbours Ukraine.
