Demand for Patriot missiles and drone defenses is so hot that the Army plans a 30% force boost, quadrupling its missile segment goals. Experts confirm bases from Qatar to Eastern Europe face daily drone barrages, pushing AI-coordinated missile swarms into action. Apparently, you can never have enough missiles when defending the sky or your stressed-out soldiers.
