Leaked U.S. Defense Dept. documents reveal possible weak links in Ukraine’s military campaign against Russian forces, warning that Kyiv could run out of crucial air defense missiles by May.
reveal possible weak links in Ukraine’s military campaign against Russian forces, warning that Kyiv could run out of crucial air defense missiles by May.
According to two of the documents marked “secret” and dated in February, Ukraine is facing a looming shortage of Russian-made air defense missiles without sufficient deliveries of similar systems from NATO countries. Russian-made SA-10 and SA-11 missiles comprise 89 percent of Ukraine’s air defense protection for medium- to high-range threats above 20,000 feet, it says.
Ukraine could then lose the ability to resupply its troops from planes or helicopters or mass its ground forces along the front line or for a possible counter-offensive, one of the documents says.
