Ukraine Exhausts Patriot Missile Stocks, Air Defense Degraded

Ukraine has depleted its supply of U.S.-provided Patriot interceptor missiles, reducing its ability to counter Russian aerial strikes. The shortfall is likely due to production constraints and competing demands, leaving Ukrainian cities and infrastructure more exposed. This development signals a potential shift in the air-defense balance, though the exact operational impact remains unquantified.

While some reports suggest complete depletion, others indicate regular but insufficient monthly resupply, maintaining a precarious balance. The situation is exacerbated by irregular deliveries under the PURL initiative and potential shifts in US support.
