Patriot missiles could run out for the Ukrainian army within a few weeks – CNN

Patriot missiles may run out for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a Few Weeks.

This was reported by CNN, citing officials.

This situation has “caused panic” among Ukrainian officials.

The channel notes that the potential loss of U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems would be the biggest problem for Ukraine following the halt in U.S. military supplies.

“The U.S. holds the license for Patriot missile systems as well as the rights to produce missiles for them, which significantly complicates the task of reproducing them for many European countries,” said Ekaterina Stepanenko, deputy head of the Russia group and an analyst at the American Institute for the Study of War.

Earlier, the British magazine The Economist reported that the cessation of U.S. Patriot missile supplies would leave much of Ukraine at risk of destruction, similar to Kharkiv, where these systems are not deployed due to safety concerns. Patriotis the only system capable of shooting down Russian hypersonic and ballistic missiles.
