    Ukraine's Patriot Missile Stocks Nearly Exhausted

    Ukraine is running critically low on Patriot interceptors, its primary defense against ballistic missiles. According to multiple sources, including The Economist and Ukrainian officials, stocks are almost depleted, and replenishment is uncertain. The U.S., which has been supplying these missiles, is struggling to restock due to the war with Iran. Additionally, Ukraine's F-16s are running low on AIM-120 and AIM-9 missiles needed to intercept cruise missiles. Meanwhile, Russia is producing around 100 missiles per month, and allies are reluctant to share interceptors due to their own dwindling supplies.
