We Saw The Entire War in Microcosm Last Night

Last night, Kyiv endured another terrible Russian missile attack. But when I started looking at the numbers behind it, I found something much more troubling. According to Ukraine's own intelligence estimates, Russia still has approximately 1,900 missiles in its inventory. Do the math, and even if Russia never manufactures another missile, it has enough inventory for roughly 14 missiles a day through the end of this year—including almost five ballistic missiles every single day. And Ukraine does not currently have enough Patriot interceptors to comfortably deal with that threat. That is the story I want you to understand today. 0:00 The Entire War in One Night 0:32 Ukraine Launches 350 Drones—Russia Says 726 2:14 Ukraine Hits Russia’s Oil and Energy System 3:51 Major Power Link to Crimea Hit 4:20 Russia’s Attack on Ukraine Begins 4:51 Kyiv Suffers a Deadly Night 6:01 Ballistic, Cruise and Hypersonic Missiles 6:53 How Many Missiles Does Russia Have Left? 8:34 Russia Still Has Roughly 1,900 Missiles 9:15 Nearly 5 Ballistic Missiles Every Day 9:49 Ukraine’s Patriot Problem 10:30 What Russia Says It Was Targeting 12:48 Battlefield Update 13:53 Ukraine Keeps Hunting Russian Logistics 14:45 Shooting Down Drones—and a Missile—with Machine Guns 15:41 103 Ukrainian POWs Come Home 16:27 One Defender Returns After Nine Years 17:02 Russia’s Returning POWs Tell a Different Story 18:24 Estonia Marks 35 Years of Restored Independence 19:10 Ukraine Support Campaign Updates Facts over noise.
