皮埃尔·旺迪耶海军上将：北约需 alongside 爱国者等先进拦截弹之外的廉价大规模生产防御装备

就在北约盟国承诺斥资数百亿美元建设新的防空和导弹防御系统几天后，该联盟最高转型指挥官警告称，西方必须从根本上重新设计其武器和工业基础，以抵御当前乌克兰和中东战场所展现的大规模袭击。
“如今，形势对西方不利，”北约最高盟军转型司令部（SACT）司令皮埃尔·旺迪耶海军上将在7月初土耳其安卡拉北约峰会后的独家采访中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

此次峰会承诺采购900枚爱国者导弹，并在五年内投入超过400亿美元用于反无人机能力建设。
但旺迪耶认为，仅仅采购更多西方现有武器无法解决根本问题。

俄罗斯对乌克兰的夜间空袭暴露了西方现有防空模式仅能应对少量来袭威胁的缺陷。与此同时，美伊冲突加剧了对击败弹道导弹所需的高端拦截弹的需求，包括爱国者导弹和终端高空区域防御（THAAD）系统，而这些武器无法快速补充。
“我们不可能每年生产5万枚爱国者导弹，”旺迪耶说，“我们没有供应链，而且考虑到该武器的成本，这样做也不值得。”
相反，旺迪耶表示，北约需要分层混合防御体系：既能大规模生产的廉价武器，用于应对无人机蜂群攻击，同时保留先进拦截弹用于应对弹道导弹和其他复杂威胁。

北约渴望拥有的两大最重要美国武器系统
“你需要具备可损耗、低成本、大规模生产的武器，才能击落大规模来袭的廉价武器，”旺迪耶说，“然后你仍需要精密复杂的武器，来击落最复杂的武器，比如弹道导弹。”
特朗普在峰会上宣布，美国将向乌克兰授予爱国者拦截弹制造许可证，这可能让基辅能够生产更多其迫切需要的武器，以抵御俄罗斯的弹道导弹袭击。
但当被问及这一公告是否改变了他“仅靠爱国者导弹无法在未来五年保护欧洲”的评估时，旺迪耶指出了一个更深层次的障碍：西方武器的设计是基于一个已不复存在的工业基础。
乌克兰战场正在重塑北约的未来
“设计需要改变，”旺迪耶说，“我们正处于一个阶段，一些装备将在压力下被重新设计，以实现大规模生产。”
北约也在努力应对实时变化的威胁。当被问及俄罗斯最近在爱沙尼亚与俄罗斯之间的佩普西湖举行的实弹演习时，爱沙尼亚国防部长认为这可能是在演练应对乌克兰式海军无人机的战术。旺迪耶表示，俄罗斯已经展现出吸收战场经验教训并“每周进行调整”的能力。
“战争——如果你不适应，你就会灭亡，”旺迪耶说，“你的全部思维都在于如何超越敌人、领先敌人、跑在敌人前面。俄罗斯在这方面其实并不差。”
“对北约来说，现在的问题在于适应的速度，”旺迪耶说，“这是一场心理博弈。”
与此同时，乌克兰的国防工业正日益引领着曾经为其供应大部分武器的西方大型制造商的发展步伐，旺迪耶表示。乌克兰企业能够快速开发、部署和修改系统，以应对战场变化。

“乌克兰极其灵活且快速发展的工业基地，如今正在为欧洲和西方工业设定发展节奏，”旺迪耶说。
但技术竞争并不局限于无人机和防空系统。旺迪耶警告称，《中程导弹条约》的崩溃重新开启了欧洲范围内的远程导弹竞赛，俄罗斯和北约盟国都在寻求能够打击敌后更远距离目标的武器。
1987年签署的该条约禁止美国和俄罗斯拥有射程在500至5500公里之间的地面发射导弹。特朗普首届政府于2019年退出该协议，指责莫斯科违反条约，而俄罗斯对此予以否认。

旺迪耶表示，这些限制的消失造成了一段“完全的战略不稳定时期”，双方都面临着开发新能力以维持威慑的压力。
“潘多拉的盒子再次被打开，”旺迪耶说，“我们总有一天会努力将其关上。”
Russia exposes NATO weapons gap as top commander warns ‘the math is not in favor of the West’
2026-07-28 09:08am EDT / Fox News
Adm Pierre Vandier said the alliance needs cheaper mass-produced defenses alongside advanced interceptors like Patriots
By Morgan Phillips Fox News
Days after NATO allies committed tens of billions of dollars to new air and missile defenses, the alliance’s top transformation commander warned that the West must fundamentally redesign its weapons and industrial base to withstand attacks at the scale now being demonstrated in Ukraine and the Middle East.
“Today, the math is not in favor of the West,” Adm. Pierre Vandier, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT), told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview following the alliance’s summit in Ankara, Turkey, in early July.

The summit produced commitments to acquire 900 Patriot missiles and invest more than $40 billion in counter-drone capabilities throughout five years.
But Vandier argued that simply buying more of the West’s existing weapons will not solve the underlying problem.
TRUMP ENTERS FINAL NATO SUMMIT DAY AS UKRAINE, DEFENSE SPENDING TAKE CENTER STAGE
Russia’s nightly barrages against Ukraine have exposed an air-defense model designed for smaller numbers of incoming threats. The U.S.-Iran conflict has simultaneously intensified demand for the high-end interceptors needed to defeat ballistic missiles, including Patriots and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) that cannot quickly be replaced.
“There is no way to produce 50,000 Patriots a year,” Vandier said. “We don’t have the supply chain, and it’s not worth doing that given the cost of the weapon.”
Instead, Vandier said NATO needs a layered mix of defenses: cheaper weapons that can be mass-produced to counter waves of drones, while preserving advanced interceptors for ballistic missiles and other sophisticated threats.

THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT AMERICAN WEAPONS SYSTEMS NATO IS EAGER TO HAVE
“You need to have attritable, low-cost, mass-produced weapons to just kill the low-cost weapons that are coming by big waves,” Vandier said. “And then you need still the exquisite, complex weapons to kill the most complex weapons, as ballistic missiles.”
Trump announced at the summit that the United States would grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot interceptors, potentially allowing Kyiv to build more of the weapons it urgently needs to defend against Russian ballistic missiles.
But asked whether the announcement changed his assessment that Patriots alone could not protect Europe throughout the next five years, Vandier pointed to a deeper obstacle: Western weapons were designed around an industrial base that no longer exists.
UKRAINE’S BATTLEFIELD IS TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF NATO
“The design needs to change,” Vandier said. “We are at a moment where some stuff will be redesigned under pressure to be mass-produced.”
NATO also is attempting to transform against a threat that is changing in real time. Asked about a recent Russian live-fire exercise on Lake Peipus, between Estonia and Russia, which Estonia’s defense minister assessed was likely practice against Ukrainian-style naval drones, Vandier said Russia has demonstrated an ability to absorb battlefield lessons and adjust “on a weekly basis.”
“War — if you do not adapt, you die,” Vandier said. “All your brain is about how you outmatch, outpace, outrun the enemy. And so Russia is not that bad at that.”
“For NATO now, it’s a question of speed of adaptation,” Vandier said. “It’s a mind game.”
Ukraine’s defense industry, meanwhile, is increasingly setting the pace for the larger Western manufacturers that once supplied most of its weapons, Vandier said. Ukrainian companies have been able to develop, field and modify systems quickly in response to changes on the battlefield.

“The very agile and fast-evolving industrial base in Ukraine is now giving the pace to the European and Western industry,” Vandier said.
But the technological competition is not confined to drones and air defenses. Vandier warned that the collapse of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty has reopened a broader race over long-range missiles in Europe, as Russia and NATO allies seek weapons capable of holding targets farther behind enemy lines at risk.
The 1987 treaty prohibited the United States and Russia from possessing ground-launched missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. The first Trump administration withdrew from the agreement in 2019 after accusing Moscow of violating it, an allegation Russia denied.

Vandier said the disappearance of those limits has produced a period of “complete strategic instability,” with both sides under pressure to develop new capabilities to preserve deterrence.
“The Pandora’s box is open again,” Vandier said, “and we’ll try to close it down one day.”
