Alertă în Europa: SUA ar fi rămas fără suficiente rachete Patriot pentru un eventual atac masiv al Rusiei. Războiul cu Iranul a „mâncat” 65% din stoc

The U.S. ability to defend Europe against potential Russian ballistic missile attacks is reportedly compromised due to high consumption of Patriot interceptors in the Iran conflict. An American defense official indicated that current stocks in Europe are critically low, raising concerns about NATO's capacity to respond effectively. While NATO and the Pentagon deny claims of a severe ammunition shortage, the situation remains precarious, especially if Russia were to launch a sustained missile campaign. The ongoing war with Iran has depleted U.S. reserves faster than anticipated, with approximately 65% of Patriot interceptors used. Ukraine continues to request additional Patriot systems to counter increasing Russian missile threats, highlighting the challenges of intercepting advanced ballistic missiles.
