Congressional Doubts Over Pentagon's Ability to Keep Supplying Patriot Interceptors to Ukraine

U.S. lawmakers are questioning the Pentagon's capacity to continue providing Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine, citing concerns over dwindling U.S. stockpiles and the impact on the armed forces' combat readiness. The Patriot system is a key component of Ukraine's air defense against Russian ballistic missiles and air attacks, and high consumption rates have strained U.S. production and reserves. The debate comes as Kyiv seeks additional interceptors to counter increasing Russian assaults.
