The Wall Street Journal: Ukraine's air defense missiles may face shortages due to the conflict between the Middle East and Iran
- Kyiv has already experienced a shortage of intercept missiles in its air defense systems.
- According to the report, the limited production capacity in the US had already caused a serious shortage of Patriot missiles before the operation against Iran.
- This has reduced Ukraine's inventory, while orders from European allies will have to wait for several years.
- WSJ pointed out that Russia is taking advantage of the gap in Ukraine's air defense to strike energy facilities and paralyze the energy systems of key targets.
- In the first few days of the confrontation with Iran, the US and Gulf countries have already launched hundreds of intercept missiles.
- Analysts warn that if they face a concentrated attack, the missile stockpiles of countries in the region would only last a few days, after which Washington would have to transport them from other directions.
