The Story in Brief
The US Patriot missile system, built by Raytheon Technologies, is a mobile surface-to-air defence system that can operate in all weather and at long range. Its full name is Phased Array Tracking Radar for Intercept on Target. According to an NDTV explainer, supplies of this system are now dwindling. The report examines the reasons behind the shortage.
The Indian Opinion
The focus on dwindling Patriot supplies risks creating a narrative of US weakness. But the real story is whether production can meet demand. The actual number of systems in inventory and the rate at which Raytheon can replenish them will settle the question. A dramatic shortage is not yet confirmed.
