The US-led war against Iran has consumed more Patriot missile defense systems in less than two weeks than Ukraine received during its four years of war with Russia, according to a Bloomberg analysis.

Since the start of the conflict, Iran has launched more than 2,100 attack drones and at least 688 ballistic missiles, according to data analyzed by the agency.

In response, the US and its allies have deployed more than 1,000 Patriot PAC-3 interceptors, advanced air defense system missiles used to destroy ballistic threats.

By comparison, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Ukraine has received about 600 PAC-3 missiles since the start of the Russian invasion four years ago – fewer than have been used in the Gulf region over the past 11 days.

The increased use of interceptors has put pressure on global Patriot system reserves and raised concerns about the pace at which these stocks can be replenished.

For Ukraine, which relies on Patriot systems to protect itself from more advanced Russian missiles, this situation could mean greater restrictions on supplies from allies, including the United States.

Ukrainian authorities have routinely used Patriot batteries to intercept advanced ballistic and cruise missiles, including the hypersonic Kinzhal and Zircon, weapons that Moscow had previously claimed could not be stopped.

Meanwhile, Germany announced on March 10 that it would join several European countries in providing Ukraine with 35 additional interceptors.
