Bloomberg: Due to the Iran conflict and ammunition depletion, Ukraine's air defense system may face shortages
Analysis shows that since the outbreak of the conflict, Iran has launched more than 2100 attack drones and at least 688 ballistic missiles.
This has forced the United States and its allies to consume over 1000 PAC-3 interceptors, putting great pressure on global inventory and raising concerns about the speed of supply replenishment.
Ukraine typically uses the Patriot system to intercept the most difficult targets - ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, including the Kinzhal, Zircon hypersonic weapons.
This means for Kyiv: Allies, including the United States, may limit missile supplies.
Zelenskyy pointed out that in four years of full-scale Russian attacks, Ukraine has received only 600 PAC-3 missiles, less than the consumption in 11 days in the Middle East.
The report states that during a closed-door meeting last week in Brussels, several EU countries have warned of the global shortage of interceptor missiles. If the Middle East conflict continues, the situation may further deteriorate.
