Ukraine could have had enough Patriot missiles for several years if a large part of them had not been used in hostilities in the Middle East.

What the US Spends on Patriot Missiles in the Middle East Could Defend Ukraine for Years
Patriot interceptor missiles expended during US and allied air defense operations in the Middle East could have supported Ukraine’s air defenses for several years, according to Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat.
Ignath commented on the fact that the United States had spent a large number of Patriot interceptors in the Middle East.
🚀 Ukrainian air defense forces are facing serious challenges due to the shortage of Patriot missiles, and our military is adapting using these systems with maximum efficiency. 🇺🇦 Ignat notes that approaches to their application in Ukraine are significantly different from international practices — we risk only one missile on target in order to save resources. So will we be able to overcome these challenges and save our skies?! 🌌
