Ukraine has stated they need 150-200 of them and I believe this commitment plus those from Denmark and the Netherlands will get them near 100.
200? do they plan to no-fly-zone the whole of Russia?
They can only carry a few missiles at a time, ukraine is huge, and some will inevitably get shot down.
200 sounds about right.
Factor in service rotations too and it makes even more sense
Not all of them will fly at the same time.
Some will be unavailable for various repairs, some will be too far from the interception target to get in time, some will inevitably destroyed from time to time. 200 isn't that far fetched.
There are some small concerns about parking to contend with.
