As reported by the Associated Press, the US military in Europe is facing a "critically serious" shortage of advanced radar interceptors, according to research. This shortfall is largely attributed to the US' conflict with Iran, according to a US defense official in Europe and a NATO representative. The lack of radar interceptors raises concerns about the vulnerability of NATO countries in the event of a potential Russian attack.
The US defense official specifically highlighted the scarcity of Patriot interceptors, which are capable of countering Russian hypersonic missiles. Both sources requested anonymity. In Europe, it's clear that the US military does not have enough Patriot systems to effectively defend against a prolonged barrage of ballistic missiles, the official stated.
The capability to defend against a single ballistic missile or a hypersonic Russian missile with a changed trajectory is severely limited.
