A critical shortage of advanced anti-missile missiles in Europe has been identified by the US military, according to research by the news agency AP. This shortfall is largely attributed to the US's conflict with Iran, according to a US defense official in Europe and a NATO representative. The situation raises concerns about the vulnerability of NATO countries in the event of a potential Russian attack.
The US defense official highlighted the shortage of Patriot anti-missile missiles, which are capable of intercepting Russian hypersonic missiles. NATO confirmed the limited stockpiles of Patriot systems across US and NATO forces in Europe. Both sources requested anonymity. The US military definitively lacks sufficient Patriot systems to defend against a potential prolonged attack with ballistic missiles, stating it only possesses limited capabilities to defend against a single ballistic missile or a Russian missile veering off course.
