NATO is reported to possess only a small fraction of the necessary anti-aircraft resources to defend its Eastern flank, exposing the continent’s vulnerability on a massive scale, citing Financial Times.

However, insiders familiar with confidential defense plans drafted last year reveal that NATO countries are capable of providing less than 5% of the required anti-aircraft resources to defend their members in Central and Eastern Europe from a full-scale assault.
