Global Patriot missile shortages
The American missile defense system "Patriot" is experiencing a significant increase in demand during 2026, as a result of declining interceptor missile stockpiles among the United States and its allies due to intensive use in the Ukrainian war and military escalation in the Middle East. The "Patriot" remains one of the most important air defense systems relied upon by countries to counter missiles and aircraft. The rising demand is driven by the need to compensate for shortages and to maintain a balance between supporting allies and preserving strategic stocks. The cost of a new battery ranges from one billion dollars, and manufacturers face challenges in ramping up production quickly to meet the growing global demand.
