Ukraine is out of Patriots. The US is out of Patriots. The Europeans & Nato are out of Patriots as well. At least Ratheon shareholders will be happy for many years.
Not a problem. Stop your worrying. Plenty of Patriot missiles will be available worldwide. Ukraine has demonstrated that Patriot missiles are very effective. How companies plan to ramp up production of Patriot missiles https://www.defensenews.com/land/20...an-to-ramp-up-production-of-patriot-missiles/
Which is just one of the companies producing Patriot missiles. Tell us about Lockheed and the others.
US and Nato allies are out of ammo and missiles to give to Ukraine. They never expected the war to last this long. They thought the Russians would run out of ammo well before they did. US stockpiles will take *years* to replace, this is from CSIS in Washington:
Thats only 6 months worth of artillery. Ukraine needs Air Defence, the Russians are now air bombing Ukraine with impunity. They also need a full air force to counter FAB 1500 and soon FAB 3000 bombers. A few F16s are not enough and will have to stay out of range of Russian S400s anyway. Its basically over for Ukraine. Biden is just trying his best to prolong the war till after the election, thats what he wants the 60 Billion is for, so he doesn't have to take the loss before the election.
Yet the article noted the rest of Europe will be providing Ukraine with over 2.5 million artillery shells this year. The only issue being funding. And, no, Russia is not air bombing Ukraine with impunity. The FAB glide bombs are inaccurate terror weapons being aimed at Ukraine cities and towns -- including a few on the front lines. Due to GPS jamming by both sides at the front, the GPS guided FABs endure accuracy issues in many launches. Of course, the Ukraine counter to the FABs is taking out the planes at airfields inside Russia which are launching them.
"Ukraine will fall in a matter of days." warns EU Foreign Policy Chief, Josep Borrell "It is clear that Russia is going to launch a massive offensive"
