Retired Army colonel explains why Patriot missiles are so valuable and in short supply

Ukraine's plea for more air defenses has intensified. The EU responded to President Zelenskyy's claims of reduced interceptor missile supplies. A retired Army colonel explained why Patriot missiles are so valuable and in short supply. The EU's response and the colonel's explanation come amid Ukraine's critical shortage of air defenses.

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and NPR both covered Ukraine's urgent need for more missile interceptors. The New York Times questioned whether the world will continue to support Ukraine's defense needs. The colonel's explanation on PBS underscored the strategic importance of Patriot missiles. The EU's response to Zelenskyy's claims and the colonel's explanation provide some context.

However, questions remain about the current state of US Patriot stockpiles. The extent of Ukraine's air defense capabilities and the global response to its plea for more support are still unclear.
