Thanks for launching the pointless Iran War and completely exhausting missile interceptors in a shockingly wasteful way Israel!

    One is better than none

    Also the original source for this seems highly suspect. I have serious doubta about the credibility of this article. I did try to find a alt source but every article I came across was all left leaning media that like to sell you on a idea rather than tell the full truth.

    Edit: here is the AP news story https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-zelenskyy-missile-attack-ballistics-eb62397d10bca2d6db4269a3bcfc9dc6 notice how the AP doesn’t frame this in a political light. There is shortage of defense missiles due to the US not providing aid.

      Also context FTA:

      Ukraine’s Air Force said air defenses destroyed or suppressed 156 aerial targets, including one Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missile, one Kh-59/69 guided missile, and 154 drones. According to preliminary data, 26 ballistic missiles, four anti-ship missiles, and 23 attack drones struck 21 locations, while debris from intercepted targets fell at two additional sites. Three missiles failed to reach their intended targets.
