Russia Wins the War on Iran

Jennifer Kavanagh, a military analyst at Defense Priorities, told The American Conservative that “the war in Iran will disrupt the U.S. ability to support Ukraine” and that “the biggest and most immediate impact will be on air defense” since “Ukraine depends almost entirely on the United States for air defense, especially Patriot air interceptors and AMRAAMs,” referring to Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles. She says supplies of Patriot missiles should be expected “to be disrupted as soon as the end of this month.”
