CNN: Ukraine No Longer Has Patriot Interceptor Missiles
An American media outlet described Ukraine as highly vulnerable to Russian attacks, writing that Ukraine no longer has Patriot interceptor missiles.
An American media considered Ukraine to be completely vulnerable to Russian attacks and wrote that Ukraine no longer has Patriot interceptor missiles.
According to the report of Ambassador Arjan, the CNN news channel, quoting an informed source, reported that Ukraine has finished stockpiling interceptor missiles of the American-made Patriot air defense system; A situation that makes this country more vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks.
This knowledgeable source announced that Ukraine no longer has the missiles needed for the Patriot system.
According to the source, in the latest Russian strike, "almost all ballistic missiles were not intercepted due to the lack of interceptors."
According to this report, in the Russian missile attack that continued from the night to the morning of Wednesday, three power plants in Kyiv were targeted and the energy infrastructure in Kharkiv was also attacked.
CNN reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned repeatedly over the past months about the depletion of US-made interceptor missiles and has consulted with his allies to secure new shipments.
According to the CNN report, Patriot interceptor missiles, in addition to the high price, are also facing a shortage of supply in the world market. Military encroachment on Iran's territory and consuming part of the reserves of different countries to strengthen their defense systems against possible future attacks has put more pressure on the available resources.
