Ukraine and Finland have started the process of buying new ground-based air defense systems from international suppliers to improve their national security.

烏克蘭與芬蘭已開始從國際供應商採購新的地面防空系統，以提升國家安全。

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has begun purchasing about 100 Patriot missiles using a $1 billion loan from the European Union. This move is necessary because Ukraine has a shortage of missiles, even though its systems have successfully stopped 90% of Russian missile attacks. To encourage allies to help, Kyiv suggested a deal where future deliveries—funded by a $4.5 billion agreement with Germany—will be used to replace the stocks provided by donor countries. Companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are increasing production, while others like Rheinmetall and MBDA may produce these systems under license.

烏克蘭國防部已開始利用歐盟提供的 10 億美元貸款，採購約 100 枚愛國者飛彈。此舉十分必要，因為烏克蘭面臨飛彈短缺，儘管其系統已成功攔截 90% 的俄羅斯飛彈攻擊。為了鼓勵盟友協助，基輔建議將未來由德國 45 億美元協議資助的交付貨品，用於補充捐贈國的庫存。

At the same time, Finland is improving its defenses by purchasing RBS 70 NG short-range air defense systems from the Swedish company Saab. This deal is worth €108 million and includes missiles, maintenance equipment, and training. The Finnish Ministry of Defense emphasized that this purchase is part of a larger plan to protect the country against various threats, including both piloted aircraft and drones. They expect these systems to be fully operational by the end of the decade.

與此同時，芬蘭正透過向瑞典 Saab 公司採購 RBS 70 NG 短程防空系統來強化防禦。這筆交易價值 1.08 億歐元，包含飛彈、維修設備及培訓。芬蘭國防部強調，此次採購是大計畫的一環，旨在保護國家免受各種威脅，包括有人駕駛飛機與無人機。他們預計這些系統將在十年末前全面投入運作。

Both countries are using different international sources to ensure their air defenses remain modern and effective.

兩國均利用不同的國際管道，以確保其防空系統維持現代化且高效。
