The article reveals that the war with Iran has led to a significant decline in American Patriot missile stockpiles in Europe, as many have been transferred to the Middle East to be used against Iranian rockets and aircraft. This has reduced the stockpile from around 2,330 missiles before the conflict began to less than 850. This shortage threatens the US missile defense capability and NATO's ability to counter Russian ballistic missile attacks, especially since approximately 65% of the stock has been consumed over the past five months. NATO has refused to deny the existence of a critical stockpile level but emphasized the alliance's capacity to defend itself, with plans to increase production in Europe by establishing a manufacturing facility in Germany for Patriot missiles. Delivery of these is scheduled to begin next year.
