The central Europe has too long been lulled to a belief that war is not real. It is. High value assets like Patriot need protection against all threats, also those air threats Patriot is not meant to counter itself.
And it’s not just equipment, it’s doctrine, laws and political will. Shooting down random drones over sensitive areas is not just a matter of having a Gepard stationed there… It’s about having permission to engage these drones, and hopefully with externally safer weapons than AA auto-cannons as the first response.

Ukraine has FPV interceptors. They can train the rest of Europe.

Can’t think why these drones were not disabled and used as evidence to support your claim.
