Bild journalist Julian Röpke said that Ukraine has run out of missiles for the Patriot and Iris-T air defense systems.
“As I said weeks ago (and almost no one believed me): Ukraine ran out of Patriot and Iris-T missiles. Also, most other stocks of air defense means are depleted or destroyed,” the journalist wrote on the social network X on Thursday, April 11.

This, while we have hundreds of systems and thousands of missiles in our depots. No words. Just anger. pic.twitter.com/KyzteWpq1j
Röpke said that Western countries now have hundreds of systems and thousands of the defensive missiles that Ukraine is currently desperate for in warehouses.
“No words. Just anger,” he added.
Later, the journalist published a post with the trajectory of the Russian missiles that attacked Ukraine the night before last.
“Take a look at the missiles’ path. Kyiv's airspace is a free pass for them now. We really messed up…” he wrote.
However, the journalist later added that he would rather not say that “Ukraine has ZERO Patriot PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles”
He alleges that a source told him the exact current number two weeks ago.
“I won't reveal it, of course. But the number was so small, it must be close to nothing now,” Röpke said.
To clarify, I would rather not say, Ukraine has ZERO Patriot PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles.

Ukrainian Air Force responds
Air Force spokesman Ilya Yevlash agreed that Ukraine needs more Patriot missiles.
“First of all, we have to understand that Ukraine does not produce these systems and ammunition for them on its own. Therefore, of course, we need more missiles,” Yevlash said.

Yevlash said, however, that Ukrainians should not panic, as partner countries are aware of how many missiles Ukraine has, how many more are needed, and will come to Ukraine’s aid.

The Great Donald J Trump will soon return to his rightful place in The White House. All you haters will be sucking a bag of dicks.
The gop traitors should be bathing in vodka while openly handing Ukraine to the thugs called Russians. May karma pay the gop a visit.
What Ukraine needs is a laser-based air-defense system. Such a system would not require any weapons from any other country. Ukraine has in its possession some very sophisticated air-defense systems that don't have enough missiles, but if you interface the laser guns with the targeting systems that are in place then you will have as powerful a protection against missiles as anyone on Earth. You could defend against hundreds of drones, missiles and bombs in a single night. Russia's entire arsenal would be ineffective. Lasers could even protect you from nuclear attacks.
The more time passes, the more evident it is that Ukraine is not important for European security. so for two years the European political power has been making fun of its citizens and even more so of Ukraine. this means that Ukraine cannot trust anyone.
@Sasha, Onzin verhaal! Trol.
I agree with both DG and Mark. With Trump and Johnson, you Europeans are now the leaders of the free world and the arsenal for democracy.
We hebben het niet verprutst, de VS heeft het verprutst!
Trump and Johnson must be ecstatic and probably celebrating with vodka.
