Ukraine’s Air Defense Gaps Could Worsen Due to US-Iranian War

Gaps in Ukraine’s air defense system could worsen due to the US-Iranian war.

The U.S. military has used up almost four-fifths of THAAD systems, and Patriot interceptor stocks have roughly halved since the start of the conflict. These systems are among the few capable of shooting down ballistic missiles.

Such capabilities are of greatest concern to Ukrainian leadership amid their desperate attempts to restore stocks of interceptors.
