In Europe, the US military is facing a "significantly critical" shortage of modern interceptors, according to research by the news agency AP. This shortfall is largely attributed to the conflict between the US and Iran, a US defense official and NATO spokesperson stated to AP. The situation raises concerns over the vulnerability of NATO countries in the event of a potential Russian attack.
The US defense official highlighted the scarcity of Patriot interceptors, capable of countering Russian hypersonic missiles. NATO confirmed the limited stocks of Patriot systems in US and NATO forces in Europe. Both sources requested anonymity. Europe clearly does not have enough Patriot systems to defend against a potential ongoing attack with ballistic missiles, the US official emphasized.
It possesses only very limited capabilities to defend against a single ballistic missile attack or a deflected Russian missile.
