Days earlier, Ukraine managed to shoot down only one of 27 ballistic missiles on Aug. 1, citing shortages of air defense missiles, particularly U.S.-made Patriots.
"Our partners do have the missiles," Zelensky said on X.
According to the source, Russia conducted highly effective drone reconnaissance throughout the day before the strike and then launched a large number of ballistic missiles simultaneously, approaching from multiple directions at once.
As Russia continues to increase the number of ballistic missile attacks on Ukraine, Kyiv is seeking ways to strengthen its defenses.
Ukrainian defense company Fire Point is continuing development of the FP7.X interceptor, known as the Freya project.
