Russian sources: Patriot stock insufficient for Zelensky's winter
A Russian security source stated that the American Patriot missile stockpile, estimated at less than 1,700 units, will not be sufficient to get through the winter in Ukraine, even if Kyiv receives 5% of this stock, which equals approximately 85 missiles. The report indicates that optimal interception capability requires launching 3 to 4 missiles to intercept a single target, limiting Ukraine's ability to shoot down more than 25 ballistic missiles—an amount insufficient to meet its needs during the winter. It was also mentioned that Zelensky expressed hope that the U.S. supplying Ukraine with 5% of its Patriot missile stockpile would help them survive the winter, but sources confirm that the missile shortfall presents a significant challenge to Ukraine's defense efforts.
