He wrote about this on the social network X.
"Ukraine ran out of Patriot and Iris-T missiles. ALso, most other stocks of air defence means are depleted or destroyed," the foreign journalist said.
He also noted that Western countries allegedly have hundreds of systems and thousands of missiles needed by Ukraine in their warehouses.
Later, Röpcke clarified that an informed source had told him the number of missiles for the Patriot systems two weeks ago.
"To clarify, I would rather not say that Ukraine has zero Patriot PAC - 2 and Pac-3 missiles… I won’t reveal it, of course. But this number was so small, it must be close to nothing now," he wrote.
- On the night of April 11, Russians launched a massive air attack on Ukrainian territory.
- A total of 82 missiles and drones were launched. Ukrainian air defense forces destroyed 18 missiles and 39 attack drones.
- Russia destroyed the Trypillia thermal power plant in Kyiv region.
- In addition, the Russian army struck at least 10 times at the critical infrastructure of Kharkiv and the region, leaving 240,000 households without electricity. At the same time, the metro managed to reopen in the morning. Later, it was reported that the Russian attack on Kharkiv had completely destroyed a transformer substation and damaged a thermal power plant.
