The United States faces a critical shortage of air defense interceptors like THAAD and Patriot, driving urgent calls to adopt Israeli multi-tiered missile defense technology, which offers faster production and cost advantages. Israel's advanced systems could fill strategic gaps for NATO and allies including Ukraine and Gulf states amid US inventory depletion and production delays.

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