The Patriot missile system remains one of the West’s most powerful air defence shields, but replacing it is becoming painfully difficult. High costs, slow production, complex components and long manufacturing timelines are turning every interceptor into a strategic asset. The challenge is even greater in modern wars, where cheap drones can force militaries into hugely expensive defensive exchanges. As stockpiles come under pressure, commanders are being pushed toward layered defence strategies that save Patriot missiles for the most dangerous threats. This episode explores why the Patriot system is so hard to replace and what that means for the future of Western air defence.
