The move comes as lawmakers review whether current production and inventory levels can support commitments to the United States, Ukraine, and other partner nations.
The Senate action follows reports that existing U.S. stockpiles of Patriot interceptors are limited. Officials have stated that replenishment rates have not kept pace with recent demand from multiple recipients.
