Why this matters
A $4.01B Patriot package expands Qatar’s air and missile defense inventory at a moment when Gulf states are stockpiling interceptors amid regional missile threats. The instrument is a DSCA-notified Foreign Military Sale, which authorizes but does not yet consummate the transfer, and Congress has a statutory review window before the sale can proceed.
