A single Ukrainian air-defense battery guarding Kyiv has destroyed more than 300 Russian missiles and drones, according to Ukraine's General Staff. The battery, part of the 96th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade, has been utilizing Western-supplied NASAMS systems to neutralize the targets. The impressive tally highlights the critical role of Western medium-range air defense in Ukraine's ongoing conflict.
However, the NASAMS system is limited in its effectiveness against ballistic missiles, which continue to pose a significant threat to Ukraine.
