Austin said at a press conference following a meeting with the Contact Group for the Defense of Ukraine in Brussels on Wednesday that these systems will be delivered as quickly as they can physically put them there. He also said that they will supply the systems that they have at their disposal, which, countries like Germany have at their disposal.
