The Netherlands has reinforced the Armed Forces with “invisible” VERA-NG radars that can track 200 targets at 400 km
In 2023, the Netherlands announced that it would buy VERA-NG radar stations for Ukraine. It looks like they are already in Ukraine.
Dutch Defense Minister Kasja Ollongren has published a list of equipment transferred to Ukraine, including radars.
