Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, local residents found a misfired interceptor missile from the "Patriot" air defense system that fell, and subsequently the Ukrainian authorities sealed off the scene. Kyiv is the area with the densest Ukrainian military air defense system, and it's not the first time that a misfired interceptor missile from the "Patriot" air defense system has hit people.
The Ukrainian military stated that the US-made "Patriot" air defense system is currently the only air defense weapon capable of countering Russian ballistic missiles, but the interceptor missiles are about to run out. The Ukrainian army urgently needs 8-10 sets of "Patriot" systems to cover Kyiv and other important facilities, but due to the high cost and long production cycle of this air defense system, the United States and its allies cannot provide the number that Ukraine has stated.
