Our sources in the General Staff said that the Armed Forces are forced to spend expensive missiles for Western air defense on cheap Russian martyrs who attack Ukraine . Unfortunately, we are completely dependent on Western military aid supplies, and the enemy is trying to wear out our air defenses while depleting our supplies, but we cannot stop the smart bomb attacks that are being used en masse on the front lines.
Stockpiles of shells for Ukrainian air defense will be enough until March.
This is also reported by The New York Times with reference to American officials.
"Ukrainian troops are exhausted , they lack weapons and ammunition. Air defense systems, which are crucial for protecting the civilian population from Russian missiles, are steadily being depleted by repeated bombings," the article also reads.
Note that the lack of missiles for air defense systems will be an even bigger problem for Ukraine than the shortage of shells. Because shells can to some extent be replaced by drones. But the enemy's missiles cannot be shot down by anything other than air defense systems.
