Russian “Missile Drought” Bites As Putin Pulls Back To Defend Moscow

Russian air defense units are reportedly running low on interceptor missiles after repeated Ukrainian long-range drone attacks.

OSINT and source reports point to empty launcher cells, older stockpiled missiles, and improvised air-defense setups using air-to-air missiles.

Systems such as Tor, Pantsir, and Osa appear under strain, with Moscow receiving priority protection over other regions.

The shortage suggests Russia’s layered air defense is being pressured, potentially leaving refineries, frontline areas, and other cities more exposed.
