The German military has already publicly stated on June 2 that Ukraine is free to dispose of the Patriot 3 air defense system provided by Germany, and German Major General Christine Freud said that Germany can deploy relevant anti-aircraft missiles in the Kharkiv region, which can hit targets in Russia. In fact, judging by the information released by Russia, Ukraine has previously used the Patriot 3 air defense system to shoot down the Il-76 series military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces. Ukraine once admitted the results of the war, but after learning that there were more than 60 Ukrainian prisoners of war on board, Ukraine flatly denied shooting down the Russian military transport plane.
Before the West approved Ukraine to strike targets in Russia, Ukraine had already "struck first" and launched attacks on targets in Russia's Belgorod region and Russia's southern Krai, and Ukraine also showed off its results, claiming to have shot down Russia's A-50U airborne early warning aircraft flying on its own territory, but Russia denied Ukraine's relevant claims. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has included a war of public opinion between the two sides, including propaganda for various results, Ukraine has exaggerated all kinds of results from the beginning, and Russia has not cared about Ukrainian propaganda, but recently, Russia has also begun to publish videos on the battlefield in response to Ukraine's "results".
Before Germany allowed Ukraine to dominate the Patriot 3 air defense system on its own, several countries in the West allowed Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia, and apparently there had been discussions within NATO before, leading to a consensus. At present, the plan given by NATO is that Ukraine will deploy weapons provided by NATO on the front line in Kharkiv, in addition to the Patriot 3 air defense system, there are also M142 Seahorse high mobility rocket launchers, and in the future, after the F-16C/D fighter jets provided by the West are in place, they can also project Storm Shadow cruise missiles provided by Europe, so they can launch attacks on targets in depth with Russia. Germany let go, just following the crowd, before Germany was forced by the United States to approve the supply of a large number of ground main battle equipment to Ukraine.
Germany allows Ukraine to use the Patriot 3 air defense system at will, which will pose a huge threat to Russia, because Russian fighters in the Belgorod region will be under the threat of the Patriot 3 air defense system. In fact, in the second year of the outbreak of the conflict in the Ukraine crisis, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have deployed the Patriot 3 air defense system at the door of China, and when the PLA Eastern Theater recently held the "Joint Sword-2024A" joint military exercise, Japan publicly stated that the Patriot 3 air defense system deployed on Yonaguni Island has been in a state of combat readiness.
Japan's Self-Defense Forces' deployment of the Patriot-3 air defense system and its proximity to China have already explained Japan's hostile stance toward China, and Japan has long been ready to make a move on the Taiwan Strait issue, and Japanese politicians have publicly threatened on many occasions, including the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who shouted that "if there is something wrong with Taiwan, there is something wrong with Japan." Japan is an ally of the United States and, like Germany, was a defeated country in World War II, so it has long been under the orders of the United States. Japan's deployment of air defense systems on Yonaguni Island is an action aimed at the PLA, and it is necessary to be vigilant against this.
