Kumpilius: The US Cannot Supply Enough Missiles Simultaneously

European Commissioner for Defence Andrius Kumpilius warned that the US will not be able to simultaneously meet the missile needs of the Gulf, Ukraine, and its own military. He stressed the need to increase European production of air defence systems and anti-ballistic missiles, as Ukraine has enormous needs, requiring approximately 700 missiles for the winter, a number equivalent to the US annual production. Kumpilius is on a tour of Poland to boost European production in this area and is exploring the possibility of cooperation with Ukraine to develop its own missile production.
