People familiar with the matter revealed on Thursday that the missiles supporting Ukraine's American-made “Patriot” air defense system have been exhausted, and the country's ability to withstand Russian ballistic missile attacks has become even weaker as a result. Over the past few months, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has repeatedly warned that the country's US “Patriots” interceptor missile stocks are imminent. This type of missile is one of the few defensive weapons capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. But these interceptor missiles are expensive, and global supply is tight. On the one hand, other countries' reserves have been exhausted; on the other hand, due to the situation in Iran, many countries are stepping up their own air defense reserves.
