The Russian army destroyed the Ukrainian "Patriot" air defense system, and Ukraine was too busy to take care of itself. According to the information, during the battles in the Kherson region, the Russian Aerospace Forces successfully destroyed a set of "Patriot" air defense systems of the Ukrainian army. This system was regarded by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine as the most important moment in his life, but it was destroyed by the Russian army with a single blow, and the situation of Ukraine's air defense capability is precarious.
The Ukrainian authorities claim that the Patriot system has a success rate of more than 90% and can even intercept hypersonic missiles of the Russian army. However, Ukraine does not have the ability to produce anti-aircraft missiles for the Patriot system and can only rely on NATO assistance. But just when Ukraine needs aid the most, the frequency of Western aid has been reduced recently, and Ukraine is in a dilemma of equipment shortage.
What is even more worrying is that Ukraine's air defense system is helpless in the face of the intensive missile attack of the Russian army. Russia's artillery production continues to rise, and Iran and North Korea also support Russian artillery shells, giving the Russian army a clear advantage in firepower.
The fall of the city of Avdeyevka and the destruction of the "Patriot" system have put the Ukrainian army in an even more difficult situation on the battlefield, and Ukraine may have to make more concessions in peace negotiations. Russia's strategic position in the eastern regions of Ukraine has been consolidated, and Putin has the potential to further advance his strategic goals on the Ukraine issue.
Ukraine** Zelensky called on Western countries to solve the problem of equipment shortage in the Ukrainian army at the Munich Security Conference, and the United States also announced that it would continue to support the Ukrainian army's long-range artillery systems. In the current situation, the United States and NATO will have to increase their support for Ukraine.
Ukraine faces enormous challenges, but they are not giving in easily. In this war for the survival of the country, the people of Ukraine are rising up to resist. They need more support and assistance to deal with Russian aggression. It is hoped that the international community will unite in support of Ukraine and uphold peace and justice.
