In the past week, the Patriot surface to air missile has been the headline news and heralds even more serious problems. It is said that Ukraine's inventory of Patriot missiles is running low. Except for the Patriots, there is almost no other possibility for Ukraine to eliminate ballistic missiles, so Ukraine faces an extremely serious threat from Russia. The exact inventory situation in Ukraine and the United States is currently unclear. British media quoted anonymous sources as saying that the US currently holds only about 25% of the missiles required for the Pentagon's entire military program, known as the Patriots. This may indeed bring crisis to Ukraine. After all, the worse the inventory situation of the United States, the less willing it is to use Patriot missiles to assist Kiev. In addition, the United States also needs to use the Patriot system to protect its military bases located in the Middle East. According to an insider cited by the US news website Axios, US President Trump promised Ukrainian President Zelensky to immediately deliver 10 Patriot missiles - fewer than previously planned. It is said that Trump has once again proposed seeking solutions outside the United States, and specifically mentioned Germany. According to reports, a few days ago, the German government stated that it was considering purchasing Patriot missiles and even the entire system from the United States and transferring it to Ukraine. But according to the Aksios news website, Trump suggested during a phone call with German Chancellor Mertz that Germany should take out another "Patriot" system from its own inventory to pay Ukraine, and the United States and other allies can pay for it.
