@cnn: Russian ballistic attacks on Ukraine have surged as its stock of Patriot interceptor missiles almost runs dry. CNN's Nick Paton Walsh explains why the US-made system is so critical as he gets the first media access to Patriot launchers sitting in a quiet field with empty canisters.

Why can’t Germany build them faster and become the main provider in Europe? Poland and Germany can build interceptors and USA and Lockheed can provide industrial security

The success rate of taking down ballistic missiles with a Patriot is economically unviable. Ukraine will lose because U.S. and most NATO equipment is too expensive and not as good in real situations to make it viable against Russian doctrine. That is a fact.

it's one thing to provide expensive patriot or other interceptors in order to shoot down fighter/ bomber aircraft but hundreds of drones? No. but that's what this war is being fought with now.

That’s a sobering reminder of how critical air defense is. You can’t take a system like Patriot for granted when the threat is this intense.
