France and Italy have developed the SAMP/T Aster 30 B1NT missile system which is technically superior and cheaper than the Patriot missile system. The major benefit of the SAMP/T system is that it can strike targets across a 360-degree range, a feat which would require multiple Patriot fire units.

SAMP/T Aster battery costs £500 million. Aster 30 missile costs $2 million each. Patriot battery costs $1 billion. Patriot missile costs $4 billion each. You need at least three Patriot batteries to cover the extent of one SAMP/T battery. The savings will be huge for European countries.

There is no such thing as "right to bomb a capital" .. but NATO doesn't know that, so they bombed belgrade back then ..

They have to pay for it. It's not donated. All Trump is doing is selling US military equipment. He's making money out of a democracy, under attack from a dictatorship. There's no generosity there, or heart.

What Ukraine needs most are missiles that can destroy enemy launchers, airfields, and missile and drone factories. But you always shift the focus because the false "allies" avoid delivering such missiles the most.
