armtimes.com The interceptor missiles for the Patriot system are likely to be produced in Germany or another European country, Reuters reports, citing two sources. After the end of the war, production may move to Ukraine. Experts believe that time will be needed to organize the production of Patriot PAC-2 interceptors from Raytheon or PAC-3 (Lockheed).
According to calculations, three Patriots are required to intercept one ballistic missile. Experts estimate the annual demand for them to be around 2400 units.
In June, The New York Times reported that Ukraine does not have American Patriot surface-to-air missiles for air defense systems. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked the U.S. to grant a license for the production of Patriot missiles.
Recall that during the NATO summit in Ankara, U.S. President Donald Trump stated during a meeting with the Ukrainian leader that Washington could grant Kyiv that right.
