The war in the Middle East has highlighted the crucial role of interceptors in protecting cities from missile and drone attacks. However, the supply chain behind these interceptors has been strained, and experts warn that stockpiles could become dangerously low if the conflict continues.
The use of drones and missiles in modern conflict has become increasingly common. Iran has launched numerous attacks on the United Arab Emirates, but the country's air-defense systems have been effective in tracking and targeting the missiles. The systems use interceptors to shoot down incoming missiles, saving lives and property. However, the supply of interceptors is dwindling due to the high demand. The US and its allies are working together to coordinate air-defense systems, using launch systems like Patriot and THAAD batteries. The depletion of interceptor stockpiles is a concern, as it could leave allies vulnerable to attacks.
