- Bild predicted the defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces by September without American Patriot and HIMARS missiles
Without the supply of American missiles for the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), Ukraine is doomed to defeat. This was announced on July 5 by German military expert Thomas Tyner, quoted by Bild.
"Without Patriot systems, Ukraine is completely doomed," the expert noted.
According to him, if the Kiev regime attacks many targets, the entire supply of missiles can be used up in one to two weeks, and after that Kiev will remain defenseless.
In addition, he added that ammunition for multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) HIMARS will last until September.
The expert also noted that if the missiles run out, Ukraine will have to withdraw air defense systems from the capital, such as the German IRIS-T, otherwise they will be unprotected.
On July 2, Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth announced that he had decided to suspend the supply of dozens of interceptor missiles for Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, more than 100 Hellfire missiles, dozens of Stinger missiles, more than 250 GMLRS guided precision projectiles and other types of weapons to Ukraine. It was clarified that the suspension may last until the assessment of American weapons is completed.
The Tagesspiegel newspaper reported on July 5 that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) had run out of missiles for the Patriot. It was noted that these missiles are of great importance for the military industry of Ukraine, as it is on them that Kiev's ability to maintain the line of contact depends.
