Japan is expected this week to formalize a change in policy that will enable it to export several dozen Patriot missiles to the United States, a move that would backfill Washington’s stockpiles.
So it’s somehow more expedient for the US to buy Patriot missile systems than to make them now. How is that country still functional?
The use of patriot missiles has outpaced manufacturing capability. It takes time gear up that capability. Japan is a stop gap until the U.S. can handle the demand.
