Russia is continuing its drone and missile barrage against civilian targets in Kyiv. But many of its weapons are being shot down by Ukraine.

Russia’s capacity to terrorize Ukraine’s noncombatant population centers is being significantly degraded by the United States and NATO-supplied integrated air defense systems. These weapon systems, which include Patriot missile batteries, are proving capable of downing Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles, Kalibr cruise missiles, S-400 missiles, and Iskander-M ballistic missiles, as well as Iranian-supplied Shahed and Orlan-10 drones.
