🇺🇲🇮🇷U.S. Army Orders Older Patriot Missiles for First Time in 30 Years Amid Soaring Costs
The U.S. Army has placed its first domestic order in more than 30 years for older PAC-2 GEM-T Patriot missiles.
Newer PAC-3 missiles cost about $4–5 million each and are hard to produce quickly, while stockpiles have been heavily used in recent conflicts. The cheaper, easier-to-make PAC-2 versions will help refill inventories and defend against aircraft, cruise missiles, and some ballistic threats.

Russia is now using depleted‑uranium munitions in drones – but nuclear weapons remain highly unlikely. The danger is chemical toxicity, not radiation. When DU burns or explodes, it becomes aerosol dust that can poison lungs and kidneys.
Khrapchynskyi stresses: tactical nukes are extremely unlikely due to China’s pressure, untested warheads, and Ukraine’s strikes on Russia’s nuclear infrastructure.DU in Geran‑2 drones → toxic dust
Not a radiological threat unless inhaledRussia’s nuclear warheads: untested for 20 years
Max 25 missiles per salvo → no massive barrages
Only Patriot PAC‑3 / SAMP/T can safely intercept nuclear payloads
Russia is basically bolting Cold War museum pieces onto drones and calling it innovation.
