Ukrainian airspace has unfortunately faced attacks again. A new study by the American defense intelligence agency DIA has shown that the Patriot air defense systems in Ukraine have become more vulnerable due to Russia's use of advanced ballistic missiles with maneuverable trajectories and decoys. This complicates the process of intercepting and protecting them.According to the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, the number of missile and drone attacks by the Russian Federation has significantly increased in recent months, considerably reducing the effectiveness of Ukrainian Patriot air defense systems. Although the intensity of attacks decreased before the meeting between Trump and Putin, the threat remains serious. Ukraine is under pressure and requires additional protective measures against potential enemies.
