The U.S. produces only 750 Patriot missiles annually, yet Iran has already launched 800 during the first five days of the conflict.

[The total annual production of the U.S. "Patriot" system is only 750 missiles, yet 800 were fired within the first five days before the Iran conflict]

European Defense Commissioner Andrewės Kubilius warned Europe that the current U.S. production rate of Patriot missiles does not match the scale of modern conflicts. "We need to develop our own missile production capabilities. You know this: during the first five days of operations against Iran, Persian Gulf nations and the United States launched 800 Patriot missiles. According to publicly available data, the United States' current annual total output is only 750 missiles. So the math is clear. We must develop our own missile production."
