Episode Details

Last night, Kyiv endured another terrible Russian missile attack. But when I started looking at the numbers behind it, I found something much more troubling. According to Ukraine's own intelligence estimates, Russia still has approximately 1,900 missiles in its inventory. Do the math, and even if Russia never manufactures another missile, it has enough inventory for roughly 14 missiles a day through the end of this year—including almost five ballistic missiles every single day. And Ukraine does not currently have enough Patriot interceptors to comfortably deal with that threat. That is the story I want you to understand today.
