The enemy did not shoot down all of its supply during the previous shelling on Thursday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, my prediction<\/a> came true – the next shelling was not long in coming. Moreover, it was with rockets, not “Shaheds.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There aren’t enough Patriots here for this whole pack.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last time there were 28 ballistic missiles. This time there are about 29.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For simplicity, let’s assume a total of 50 ballistic missiles in two “portions” and 2-4 interceptor missiles for each target.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That is, from 100 to 200 PAC-3 missiles just for operational response, not to mention the need to have a stockpile. And that’s just for Kyiv.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let me remind you that in the world, in total, up to 650 such missiles are produced per year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There simply won’t be any more of them.<\/p>\n

Go to shelters. Unfortunately, it will fly.<\/p>\n
