The US has approved licenses for Ukraine to produce Patriot interceptor missiles, a significant step in localizing defense manufacturing. Production lines will take at least six months to become operational, so near-term battlefield impact is limited. This marks a notable shift in US policy, enabling Ukraine to build advanced Western air-defense munitions domestically.
