“Ukraine has run out of Patriot and Iris-T missiles. Most other air defence stockpiles have also been exhausted or destroyed,” he wrote.
Röpcke added that Western countries have in their warehouses hundreds of systems and thousands of missiles that Ukraine needs.
As I said weeks ago (and almost no one believed me): Ukraine ran out of Patriot and Iris-T missiles. Also, most other stocks of air defense means are depleted or destroyed.
This, while we have hundreds of systems and thousands of missiles in our depots. No words. Just anger. pic.twitter.com/KyzteWpq1j
