Russia's ongoing conflict with Ukraine has seen 7,400 missiles and 3,700 Shahed drones fired, with Ukraine's air defenses successfully shooting down 1,600 missiles and 2,900 drones. The lower missile downing rate is attributed to the use of supersonic ballistic missiles and the delayed supply of advanced air defense systems. Ukraine has received Patriot systems from Western allies, enabling it to shoot down more missiles. Iranian-made Shahed drones have been increasingly used by Russia, prompting Ukraine to employ vehicles with mounted machine guns for defense.
