The full title is:
> US Patriot missile stocks in Europe are ‘beyond critical’ due to Iran war, officials say
German plant to produce them is about to come online in weeks and reach full production in a year so there's no reason to worry.
The Iran war could escalate in under a year. The US produces ~1.6 MIM-104s per-day; Some 224 MIM-104s/day were expended in the opening days of the conflict.
I'd say there are arithmetically reasonable causes for worry.
Can those munitions be provided to Ukraine without US approval?
Putin must be laughing his *ss off
