U.S. Army Buying So Many Missiles They Might Hit The Moon
In a shocking turn of events, the U.S. Army's air defense units are 'probably one of the most in-demand capabilities' and 'get rode pretty hard,' according to David Fitzgerald, undersecretary of the Army. 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.

When your air defense is so booked it's basically the NFL of missile interception. Someone get these Patriot missiles a coffee because they’re launching more pallets than an Amazon warehouse on Black Friday.
If 'getting rode pretty hard' was an Olympic sport, U.S. air defense units just won gold by fending off explosively persistent drone squadrons with quadruple the missile firepower.
Army’s new motto: Why have one interceptor when you can have 100? With missiles swarming drones like bees on honey, even the Patriot system is asking for vacation days.
