Ukraine's air-defense missile stocks nearly exhausted as Russia scales up drone and ballistic missile output
Russia fired jet-powered Geran drones at Ukraine every day in August, with monthly totals rising from 350 in June to 2,800 in August, according to Ukrainian Air Force data cited by the BBC. Ukraine's stockpiles of PAC-3 interceptors for Patriot systems and AIM missiles for F-16s are nearly exhausted, and Kyiv is turning to European SAMP/T batteries and a joint European-Ukrainian project called Freyja to field cheaper, mass-produced alternatives.
