Producing air defense locally reduces reliance on Western timelines + secures long term deterrence & builds an industrial base that outlasts the war
scaling fast enough while still under constant threat will be a challenge IMO

Every country that uses US weapons has seen the US deny replenishment to Ukraine. They all know that their own defense depends on those weapons. They all know that their own defense might not be replenished when needed. Because they cannot be confident of replenishment, every rational government will become a ***former*** customer of US weapons, as quickly as they can.

That’s what’s up. You have patriot to go off of and make one similar and cheaper. Drone air defense capabilities are already good.

Can’t rely on western countries on anything when it comes to western production because Europe even with US couldn’t be bothered to supply even basics in any meaningful numbers.
