Shocking information revealed — If Putin attacks, Europe is "bare"

Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell rejected claims of a U.S. ammunition shortage as “false,” saying that the U.S. military has everything it needs to conduct operations and maintains a ready arsenal to defend the country and its interests.

The greatest expenditure occurred during the war with Iran, which, according to available data cited by AP and CSIS, has consumed 65% of U.S. Patriot missiles, or roughly 1,500 of the 2,330 interceptors in the U.S. inventory.

Around 600 missiles, including those intended for Europe, are expected to be produced this year, while the goal is to increase production to 2,000 Patriot missiles annually by 2030.

NATO expects Europe’s first Patriot missile production facility to open in Germany in September, with the first deliveries potentially beginning early next year. 

Among the countries that have already ordered the missiles are Germany, the Netherlands, Romania and Spain.

European and NATO officials assess that Russia could be in a position to attack NATO countries by 2030, by which time Patriot stocks are expected to have recovered.

They also said that the war in Ukraine could limit Moscow’s ability to launch a missile attack on Europe, as Russia would face difficulties conducting an air war on two fronts simultaneously.
