US in talks on Europe missile co-production, source says

The U.S. is considering a strategic move to collaborate with Germany and other European countries on the local production of Raytheon's AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles and a maintenance setup for Lockheed's PAC-3 Patriot missiles. This initiative underscores the U.S.'s commitment to bolstering European defense capabilities and fostering stronger transatlantic military ties. By engaging in co-production, the U.S. aims to enhance supply chain resilience and ensure a more rapid response to potential security threats in the region. This development could significantly reshape European defense strategies and strengthen NATO's collective defense posture.
