Pentagon: Patriot missile sales to Gulf states could exceed $37 billion
Pentagon documents have revealed that the United States has achieved more than $37 billion in sales of Patriot systems and their equipment to Gulf Cooperation Council countries, amid escalating tensions with Iran. Seven notifications were sent to Congress between March and May 2026 regarding deals with the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar, with Kuwait representing the largest share at $19.8 billion, followed by the UAE with $11.81 billion, then Qatar with $4.01 billion, and Bahrain at $1.625 billion. The contracts include the supply of approximately 1,450 PAC-3 MSE missiles and 1,000 GEM-T missiles, involving companies such as RTX, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. These deals reflect increased security concerns among Gulf states over Iranian missile threats, especially given ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, though negotiations may alter the final costs and quantities of deliveries.
