The German military will begin preparations to deploy a surface-to-air Patriot anti-missile system in Poland in the coming days, dpa has learned from security circles. Germany offered Poland the equipment to secure its airspace after a stray missile from the war in Ukraine crashed into Polish territory and killed two people in November. But a dispute erupted when Warsaw told Berlin it would be better for the security of the Polish side if Germany just sent the Patriot batteries directly to Ukraine.
