Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of missiles for Patriot air defense systems, which shoot down ballistic missiles, and now all efforts of the state leadership are aimed at replenishing supplies. Yuri Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, spoke about this in an interview with journalist Yanina Sokolova, published on YouTube on April 26.
“We won’t say that we don’t have missiles at all, so as not to scare people, but we have a serious shortage of them, let’s put it this way,” Ignat noted (in mid-April, he said that air defense crews are trying to save missiles during Russian attacks).
According to him, representatives of Ukraine are in other countries where they are asking for missiles, “even just a few sometimes.” “Because five, 10, 15 missiles are already enough to repel some kind of ballistic strike, protect an object, protect a city,” he said.
Among the countries with which Ukraine is currently working on Patriot and missiles for them, he named the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain and Poland.
