Russian stockpiles of ballistic missiles are growing, while Kyiv still has no missiles for Patriots

According to the Ukrainian military intelligence, Russia has amassed around 700 ballistic missiles aimed at Ukraine, including Iskander-M and hypersonic Zircon missiles. Despite a supposed energy truce announced by Donald Trump, Russia launched significant attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in October. The structure of Russia's missile arsenal indicates a reliance on cheaper RM-48U missiles, while the production of Iskander missiles continues. Ukraine is facing a shortage of interceptors for its Patriot systems, complicating its defense efforts against these missile threats. The situation raises concerns about Russia's strategy to conserve its more accurate missiles for winter attacks.
