ANDOVER, Mass., April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, signed a contract for $3.7 billion to supply Patriot® GEM-T interceptors for Ukraine.

The new GEM-T production facility in Schrobenhausen, Germany, is planned to play a key role supporting this direct commercial sale and other contracts, ensuring supply chain resiliency and helping to replenish Ukraine's interceptor inventory. The facility is operated by COMLOG, a joint venture between Raytheon and MBDA Deutschland.

"Raytheon is focused on maximizing production capacity, ensuring a steady, reliable supply of these combat-proven interceptors for the U.S. and allies like Ukraine who rely on Patriot to protect their citizens, infrastructure and sovereignty," said Raytheon President Phil Jasper.
