CNN: Kiev no longer has missiles for Patriot, now the complexes are useless

The American TV channel CNN assures that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have exhausted the stock of interceptor missiles for the American Patriot complexes, and the presence of the complex itself without interceptor missiles makes it useless.

CNN links the shortage of such missiles in Ukraine with their global shortage, which intensified after their large-scale use during the war of the United States and Israel with Iran.

According to the Institute for Foreign Policy Studies, in the first four days of the conflict, coalition forces used an average of about 225 interceptor missiles per day, while Lockheed Martin produced about 620 such missiles for the whole of 2025.

As EADaily reported, Polish Deputy Defense Minister Magdalena Sobkoviak-Charnetskaya did not rule out that the republic would transfer additional missiles for Patriot to the Kiev regime. A politician from the opposition Law and Justice party, Mariusz Blaszczak, condemned this initiative as undermining the country's defense capability. He recalled that these missiles were purchased for the needs of the Polish army, not the Kiev militants.
