More than stated: Zelensky commented on the number of Patriot air defense systems in Ukraine.


Zelensky: Ukraine has more Patriot systems than reported
President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine has more Patriot air defense systems than previously reported. He emphasized that although their quantity has been improved, it is still insufficient, as well as the number of missiles for them.
This statement was made during the meeting of the Yalta European Strategy on September 13.
Zelensky did not specify the exact number of Patriot complexes, but noted that the situation is better than the official information. He also talked about the 'economical' work of Ukrainian military, who use fewer missiles than recommended for effective destruction of targets.
'An example of how our air defense troops work: it is desirable to have two missiles per target, and they are better than one,' Zelensky noted.
It is worth noting that this winter the situation may worsen, as Russia has received ballistic missiles Fath 360 from Iran.
It is also known about the supply of a new batch of ballistic missiles Hwasong-11 from North Korea to Russia.
Experts point out that now the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be hunting for launchers and storage facilities of these missiles, as it is extremely difficult to shoot them down with air defense systems.
