The US has approved the sale of 5,250 Patriot missile interceptors to Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE to bolster their defence amid a global shortage of these missile systems, caused by heightened demand from conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and tensions in West Asia.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a widening gap in Patriot missile supply as the US prioritises Gulf allies amid global shortages. Securing alternative air defence options or supply chain links now can protect your position before competition intensifies.
