Ukrainian Defense Fails Against Russian Missiles
Ukraine's air defenses are facing a severe shortage of interception missiles, especially "Patriot" missiles, which are currently the only weapon capable of shooting down Russian ballistic missiles aimed at Ukraine. After Kyiv exhausted its stockpile during attacks on August 5th, the country has experienced a decline in its defensive capabilities amid increased production and use of Russian ballistic missiles, as Moscow launched a record 198 missiles in July—compared to an approximately monthly production of 60. There are concerns that Ukraine may be forced to rely on less effective systems, with forecasts indicating that Russian attacks will intensify before winter, threatening Ukraine's air defense progress and increasing risks to critical infrastructure.
