the world’s Largest military-industrial Corporation, an American Lockheed Martin, and the German company MBDA Deutschland has filed another application for the establishment of a German national air defense system (PVO) of the next generation, according to Defense News.
the Publication notes that before this a meeting of the American and German sides that took place this summer, “almost failed.” Defense News reminds that the “updated proposal” concerns Taktisches Luftverteidigungssystem (TLVS), which will replace the anti-aircraft missile system the MIM-104 Patriot.

the Publication notes that TLVS involves the detection of targets directly in a segment of 360 degrees and not limited parts of it, as in the case of MIM-104 Patriot.
In September 2019, military expert Alexei Leonov said that the us missile defense system the MIM-104 Patriot without the use of the aviation system of radio-location and guidance Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) equivalent Russian anti-aircraft missile systems (SAMS) “Buk-M2”.
