Russia soon could be bombing Ukraine with 1,000 missiles and drones nightly, it was reported.
An expanded missile plant in Votkinsk, Russia and quickly expanding supply chains have bolstered President Vladimir Putin’s forces and their ability to fire on Ukraine, The Telegraph reported Monday.
Putin's intent is for the onslaught to wear down morale among Ukrainians, deplete Kyiv’s defenses and undermine the West's interest to maintain its support, the London outlet added.
On Friday, Russia fired a record 550 missiles and drones at Ukraine. Most of the drones were Iranian-made Shaheds.
A Ukrainian intelligence source told The Telegraph that the absence of Patriot air defense missiles could expose major cities such as Kyiv.
"There are some things only the U.S. can supply,” the source said. "The loss of anti-ballistic missile PAC-3 interceptors will leave previously safe cities such as Kyiv wide open to Russian ballistic missile attack."
Serhii Kuzan, chair of the Ukrainian Security and Cooperation Center, warned that Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, more than the country's front-line air defenses, were vulnerable.
"The suspension of U.S. arms supplies poses a challenge not so much on the battlefield as on the home front," Kuzan told The Telegraph. "Russian aerial terror is growing every month and is targeting Ukrainian cities and civilians."
Russia’s drone production was up 17% in May. Chinese companies are helping Moscow dodge Western sanctions and stockpile enough weapons to sustain at least two more years of war.
Last week, it was reported the Pentagon has halted some shipments of air defense missiles and other precision munitions to Ukraine over concerns that U.S. stockpiles are too low.

Gay ZZelenskyy Pen-s Piano Player Leader For Life is going to go down looking like the idiot he always was.
The Euros might want to consider targeting these factories if they can find them.
Nonsense. They are out of missiles, remember?
Russians are stealing washing machines from Ukrainians because they need the semiconductors in them!!
Their soldiers can only fight with shovels because they have no ammunition.
Its true because I read it in the British tabloids.....
War Is Hell
The sheer volume of missile fire the Russians are able to field is far more than the US has capability to intercept with the Patriot system
The high end Patriot ballistic missile interception systems are intended to defend against nuclear and conventional attacks against very high value targets, not to defend civilian cities against crappy low value Russian and Iranian shit stick missiles not worth two 5 million dollar PAC -3 missiles
The distance from Kharkiv to Votkinsk is about 1405 kilometers (873 miles) & could be within drone range for Ukraine, if not now, then soon.
Those are rookie numbers.
I can make up headlines soon they will publish:
“Putin Throws His Diaper At Ukrainian Drone Assault On The Kremlin”
How is that possible? Zeepers assured us Putin was out of ammunition.
Truth or another scare story trying to get more free weapons?
“ The distance from Kharkiv to Votkinsk is about 1405 kilometers (873 miles) & could be within drone range for Ukraine, if not now, then soon.”

True dat. Another opportunity to up anti-drone defense capabilities.
“The War Drones On.”
Yes, and given how its going, fantasies get more popular every day.
Russia can do this indefinitely. Sanctions don’t work. Russia has more soldiers to throw into the meat grinder than Ukraine. Ukraine is dying by 1000 cuts.
Paraguay lost 90% of its men in a war between 1864-1870. Ukraine is on the same trajectory
“1000 per night? Sweet!”
These are targeted overwhelmingly against civilians - killing and wounding women, children and the elderly.
You say that is sweet to you, and then invoke God in your tagline.
It seems demonic to me.
It is definitely a war crime under the Geneva and Hague Conventions, to which Russia is a signatory.

It looks more like they're dying by about a thousand a day.
