Ukraine’s need for Patriot interceptors has become more acute as global demand has surged, particularly during the 2026 war with Iran. UNITED24 Media reported that US and allied forces fired nearly 1,300 PAC-3 interceptors in just 16 days, further straining global stocks at a time when Ukraine continues to require large numbers of missiles to defend against Russian ballistic attacks.
The Iran War did the job it needed to do, good job everyone we did it we fucked Ukraine for Putin! 🥳 🥳 👍
I especially want to thank not just US and Israeli centrists/rightwing but all of the European nations who made this moment possible by buying into bullshit narratives about Iran pushed by Israel and the US, once again the rightwing of Europe and the US has shown up where it counts for Putin/russia!!! 🤝
/s 😡
Is it possible to make patriot compatible rockets? Or I’m guessing some defense contractors would be mad?
The rocket is just the engine that propels the missile.
Sure, but it ain’t fast cheap or easy.
The crucial bit is it will take 0.5-3 years minimum if the entire process goes smoothly (ha!).
Props for highlighting the European culpability in this. Shit like this is why fewer and fewer people believe in funding Ukraine’s war effort. It just shows that behind the blustering rheroric stands a cloud of hypocritical bullshit. From the insufficient support early when Ukraine was better positioned to push Russia out, to shit like this. Not only did they blow up the interceptors Ukraine needed, they also helped raise costs across the Eurpean economy and further limit how much European workers have to give to Ukraine. It’s just terrible all around. The Russian propaganda doesn’t have to do much other than show what the European leadarship is doing.
Also, a shortage of interceptors creates a natural political wedge issue for european rightwing parties to place nationalism and national defense at odds with a support or even perceived support of Ukraine.
This is already happening and is as old a process as cynical empires themselves…
