Ukraine Restricts Missile Intercept Data Amid Severe Patriot Shortage
The Ukrainian Air Force announced it will cease publishing detailed daily statistics on Russian ballistic missile interceptions. This policy shift follows a series of devastating strikes where intercept rates plummeted; in one recent barrage, zero out of 28 ballistic missiles were downed. President Zelenskyy noted that air defense deliveries in 2026 have fallen to one-third of 2025 levels, largely due to the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran diverting critical interceptor stockpiles.
