🇺🇦✈️ TWZ: Ukraine’s F-16 fleet is facing a severe shortage of AIM-9 and AIM-120 air-to-air missiles, forcing crews to ration weapons and, on some daytime missions, rely on the jet’s cannon against Russian drones and cruise missiles.
A Ukrainian Air Force commander said missile shipments are tracked almost minute by minute as Russia continues large-scale aerial attacks.
The shortage also affects Patriot and NASAMS defenses, which compete for limited interceptor stocks.
