Foreign Policy: Patriot Crisis Alters Ukraine Strategy
Western air defense systems, particularly Patriot missiles, face limitations in countering the increasing number of Russian ballistic missiles targeting Ukrainian cities, amid a shortage of available interceptor missiles. Experts recommend restructuring the defense strategy to include targeting launch platforms and manufacturing facilities inside Russia, rather than relying solely on intercepting missiles after launch. The ongoing operations in Ukraine, which target facilities within Russia, as well as similar actions against Iran, demonstrate that a strategy focused on targeting threat sources is more effective and less risky in terms of escalation, despite its political sensitivity and potential impact on relations with Moscow.
