NATO Secretary-General Complains About Patriot Missile Deliveries Taking Ten Years, Insufficient Production Capacity in the US and Europe Causes Concern

NATO Secretary-General Complains: The "Patriot" Air Defense Missile System Purchased Today Will Take Ten Years to Deliver

NATO Secretary-General Luet complained that the "Patriot" air defense missile systems ordered by NATO member states today will take ten years to be delivered. He said that this is unacceptable under the current circumstances.

On July 9, Luet once again called on NATO member states to increase defense spending and strengthen the defense industry in Germany.

Luet complained, "The problem is that our capacity in the United States and Europe is not enough. Although there has been some improvement, the fact is, right now as we are talking, Poland, Romania, and Estonia are purchasing from South Korea, because it takes a long time to deliver from the US and Europe. This is a problem. If you order 'Patriot' (air defense missile system) today, you will get it ten years later."

Luet again exaggerated the so-called "real" threat at a press conference, claiming that Russia will attack one of NATO's member states in "3 years, 5 years, or 7 years."
