In brief
European interceptor stocks are at minimum levels, according to Bloomberg. Ukraine is expected to receive 600 German-made PAC-2 missiles in 2027–2028.
Ukraine’s supply of Patriot air-defence missiles is expected to begin improving in about a year, as missiles ordered for production in Europe arrive, RBC-Ukraine reported on November 9, citing Bloomberg.
Bloomberg’s sources familiar with the matter said European stocks of PAC-2 and PAC-3 interceptors were at minimum levels. National armed forces were often reluctant to transfer them to Ukraine without firm US guarantees of replenishment. RBC-Ukraine’s report did not specify stockpile quantities.
Ukraine is expected to receive 600 PAC-2 missiles manufactured in Germany in 2027–2028. An agreement on producing PAC-3 missiles in Poland was also announced in late October. These are plans for future production and deliveries.
The US administration recently approved a $2.1 billion missile sale to Ukraine, RBC-Ukraine reported. Bloomberg assessed that it would not resolve the shortage quickly; approval of the sale does not establish that deliveries have taken place.
