Ukraine may be left without sufficient air defense systems due to irregular supplies from the US, which coincided with intensified Russian airstrikes. Western and Ukrainian officials are sounding the alarm as ammunition stocks are depleting faster than they are being replenished.
Ukraine may not receive air defense systems on time due to delays in supplies from the United States, which has become particularly critical at a time when Russia has significantly intensified air strikes on Ukrainian cities. This is reported by Western and Ukrainian officials, informs the Financial Times, writes UNN.
According to sources, problems arose after the US Department of Defense reviewed support programs, as a result of which supplies became irregular and smaller than expected since June.
It's only a matter of time until the ammunition runs out
– said an FT interlocutor familiar with the logistics of air defense supplies from the US.
Of particular concern is that missiles purchased directly from manufacturers under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative are produced in batches, so there are significant pauses between shipments. European allies are partly trying to compensate for the aid, having started sending their air defense systems and purchasing additional ones from the US, but this support is arriving gradually.

The Financial Times reports that Ukraine risks facing a shortage of air defence systems after the Pentagon revised its military aid programme, slowing deliveries at a time when Russia is intensifying air attacks.

Details: The pressure on supplies has increased following several months of irregular and smaller-than-expected deliveries since the Pentagon directive in June.
Officials and analysts warn that if Moscow continues its escalation or simply maintains higher rates of missile and drone attacks, Ukrainian air defence units could face a shortfall.
"It’s a question of time for when munitions run out," said a person familiar with US deliveries of air defence materiel to Ukraine.
The slowdown is particularly concerning because other missiles purchased directly from manufacturers under the separate Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative are produced in batches, creating gaps between shipments.
EU countries have also recently agreed to send air defenсe systems and ammunition from their stocks and to purchase additional supplies from the US for delivery to Ukraine, but these shipments have so far only partially materialised.
The slowdown in US arms deliveries followed a memo written in early June by Elbridge Colby, a senior Pentagon policy official, to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Colby, who stated he wants to reorient the US military to counter the growing threat from China, argued in the memo that Ukraine’s requests for American weapons could further deplete the Pentagon’s already strained reserves.
A White House official said: "Reporting that we are ‘depriving Kyiv of vital air defence munitions’ is demonstrably false, and the Department of War is working very deliberately to support Ukraine’s requirements, including with respect to air defences."
The official added that US President Donald Trump wanted to "stop the killing" and had directed the US to "sell weapons to Nato allies that can backfill what European countries are sending to Ukraine".
"However, European countries must step up as well, including by ending purchases of Russian oil and placing economic pressure on countries that finance the war."

Der Ukraine drohen einem Zeitungsbericht zufolge Engpässe bei Waffen zur Luftverteidigung. Grund dafür seien stockende Lieferungen aus den USA nach einer Überprüfung der Militärhilfen durch das Pentagon, berichtete die „Financial Times“ (Onlineausgabe) heute.
Die Zeitung berief sich dabei auf westliche und ukrainische Regierungsvertreter. Die Verknappung komme ausgerechnet zu einem Zeitpunkt, zu dem Russland seine Luftangriffe auf das Land verstärke, hieß es im Bericht.
Erst am Sonntag hatte Russland die Ukraine mit dem größten Luftangriff seit Kriegsbeginn vor rund dreieinhalb Jahren überzogen und dabei nach ukrainischen Angaben mehr als 800 Drohnen und 13 Raketen eingesetzt.
