EXPLAINER: 5 Things to Know About Ukraine and Patriot Missiles

Ukraine urgently needs PAC-3 Patriot interceptors, the only system in its arsenal capable of stopping Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles, which carry half-ton warheads. By early July 2026, Ukraine’s PAC-3 stocks were reportedly exhausted, allowing Russia to launch major strikes involving 23-24 ballistic missiles and Zircon missiles with no intercepts. US policy shifts and production limits — Lockheed Martin makes only around 500-600 PAC-3 missiles per year — have worsened the shortage, contributing to a record civilian toll in June. While US President Donald Trump has signaled that Ukraine may be allowed to produce Patriot interceptors under license, the timeline remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Fire Point is developing a cheaper domestic interceptor, Freya, with the first test missiles expected by the end of 2026. A small resupply of fewer than 20 PAC-3 interceptors is reportedly expected from allies, including Poland.
