Short on US Patriot missiles, Ukraine looks for alternatives

Russia is putting pressure on Ukraine with ballistic missiles, but Kyiv is short of Patriot interceptors. Domestic production and European alternatives take time. Can Kyiv realistically reduce its dependence on the US?

European allies are struggling to find enough Patriot interceptors for Ukraine as Kyiv prepares for another winter of Russian missile attacks. US supplies are strained by the war in Iran, new production will not arrive in time, and several European countries say their own stocks are already too low to provide significa

New production will come too late, U.S. supplies are strained and leading donors say they have few interceptors to spare.
