Politico: The war in Iran has revealed weaknesses in NATO. Expert: "They need to rethink their strategy"

The war in Iran has highlighted significant deficiencies within NATO, including a munitions crisis, with the United States rapidly consuming its stockpiles of Patriot missiles. European officials warn that Russia could attack a NATO member by 2029, underscoring the urgent need for military preparedness and political cohesion.

Additionally, NATO must reassess air superiority, considering Iran's attacks on Gulf states, and invest in long-range precision weapons. NATO's naval fleets are underfunded, and the delay in deploying ships, such as the HMS Dragon destroyer, shows the need for improvements.

Internal dissent has deepened, with Europe ignoring the United States' requests for military support, while relations with Ukraine have strengthened, as it provides expertise in drone combat. NATO must develop an anti-drone defense line near the Russian border and intensify industrial collaboration with Ukraine.
