Ukraine's Exposed as Patriot Launchers Run Empty: Global Supply Chain Risks

Ukraine's defensive capabilities have been further exposed as stockpiles of U.S. Patriot missile systems have depleted. This development has weakened Ukraine's resistance against Russian attacks and introduced a critical risk to global supply chains. While the strong relationship between the U.S. and its defense manufacturers may mitigate this issue in the short term, it raises long-term concerns about the reliability of global supply chains. Captain Rıza Deniz assesses this as 'a new weak point in the supply chain.' 'Markets are now evaluating the risks associated with Ukraine's reduced defensive capacity, particularly in Europe's reliance on defense supplies—a critical area to monitor closely.'
