Ukraine Faces Anti-Aircraft Missile Deficit Amid Russia's High-Precision Strikes

Ukraine is facing a growing deficit of anti-aircraft missiles, Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat was quoted as telling local media.

“It is clear that there is a deficit of anti-aircraft guided missiles,” Ihnat said, as he bemoaned delays over Western aid packages to the Kiev regime.

He added that Ukraine had “spent a considerable reserve" on the torrent of recent Russian high-precision strikes targeting enemy energy infrastructure, military bases, military production facilities, and decision-making centers.
“We have more and more western equipment today and, accordingly, it needs maintenance, repair, updating, replenishment, and corresponding ammunition,” said Yuriy Ihnat.

 A recent report revealed that Ukrainian air defense systems would not be able to repel all Russian attacks this winter due to a shortage of interceptor missiles.
The United States will soon be unable to supply Ukraine with missiles for Patriot surface-to-air systems, which can cost from $2 million to $4 million apiece, The New York Times reported at the start of the year, quoting White House and Pentagon officials
