That is fantastic! I really hope you are remembering that correctly, because it would be excellent news! 
I think I read somewhere that the optimum number would be 8 patriot systems. So if they were to have three already, that would be very good news indeed. They could get the training done and get 3 patriots deployed, and then start training for the next round, which is sure to come either from other countries or more from the US. 
I think the West is disgusted by all the news stories of civilian targets being deliberately struck with large numbers of civilian casualties. I don’t know what Putin expected when he started deliberately targeting civilians in their sleep, but patriot systems should have totally been the expected response.
I’ve replied to this type of comment before. NL is such a small country with a high density but low population but very interconnected. I worked at an advertising company in Amsterdam when this happened after leaving a large multinational. I will tell you everyone knew someone or a family who was directly affected by this event. 
It was a very hard time for a lot of people. 
Sterkte allemaal. >

It is certainly not too late! And the US training program, from what I understand is being fast tracked. 
I am super happy the Dutch are doing this. The American donation of the first system plus the training was great news last month, but Ukraine needs a few more Patriot systems, if possible, to cover more of its cities and metro areas that have become Russian (illegal) targets. 
Well done, Netherlands! 👍 >

And IIRC there's a German battery on the way too.
