There are 4 air defense systems in the World capable of intercepting ICBMs and SLBMs with a range of +5,500km
1. America’s 🇺🇸 Ground-Based Interceptors
Only 44 exist, 40 in Alaska and 4 in California, with a max speed of 33 Mach. GBI’s interception rate for ICBMs is 50% to 55%
2. SM-3 Block IIA 🇺🇸
Successfully tested against an ICBM in 2020. It’s ship-launched, has a max speed of 13 Mach and a range of 1,200km to 2,500km
The US has ~100 SM-3 IIA interceptors, with plans for 220 by 2030
SM-3 IIA has an estimated 30% to 40% success rate against ICBMs
3. Arrow 3 🇮🇱
Israel successfully tested Arrow 3 against ICBM-class targets. 55 to 70 Arrow 3’s were used on Iranian MRBMs, with Israel now having 50 to 80 left. Arrow 3 has a range of <2,400km and speed of 15 Mach
Arrow 3’s success rate against ICBMs is estimated at 25% to 35%

Sapsan/Hrim-2 Ballistic Missile
Max Range: 300km to 500km
Warhead: ~480kg
Speed: 5.2 Mach
Production: 0 to 3 per month
Tested successfully in May 2025 on a Russian target
Status: Unknown, either starting production or it was set back by Russian strikes from May to August 2025
Russia is estimated to have 757 Long Range Precision Missiles remaining
They have 103 X-101 Cruise Missiles, 282 Kalibr Cruise Missiles, 75 Kinzhals, and 297 Iskander-M/K Missiles in stock
Russia produces about 120-130 X-101, Kalibr, Kinzhal, and Iskander-M/K missiles per month
Russia has a consistent pattern of launching 100 to 200 X-101 Cruise Missiles in several weeks, then pausing and not firing any for a period of 3 to 6 weeks while waiting to restock their stockpile
They start with one large X-101 missile strike, then do 4-6 smaller X-101 strikes
Russia has increasing begun using more Kinzhal, Iskander-M/K, and Kh-22 missiles in their large missile strikes on Ukraine, including launching 30-70 Shahed Drones at once
Polina Menshnykh, a signer from Moscow was singing at concert in Donetsk Oblast for Russian Soldiers from the DPR 🤡 and got killed by a Ukrainian 🇺🇦 HIMARS GMLRS Missile
Her concert ended with a bang 💥
This is not a civilian casualty. She was working for the Russian military being paid to sing at that concert on Ukrainian land, occupied by Russia to sing to the Russian invaders
She should have stayed home in Russia, instead she chose to go to Ukraine 🇺🇦 to sing to 50 soldiers
The UK 🇬🇧 has helped Ukraine 🇺🇦 a lot during this invasion, and there have been unnecessary condemnations due to UK’s Defense Minister saying that "people want to see gratitude" for sending Ukraine military aid
UK, its people and its leaders are the biggest supporters of Ukraine
The UK has sent Ukraine thousands of NLAWs that have helped Ukraine defend against Russia, especially in stopping Russia’s attack on Kyiv where Russian convoys were ambushed with NLAWs
They sent Ukraine hundreds of StarStreak MANPADS that are one of the best MANPADS in the world
The UK has sent hundreds of ground launched Brimstone missiles that are capable of destroying Russian Targets precisely from many kilometers away. They sent Brimstone 2, and the newest Brimstone 3 missiles
Britain has pledged 32 AS-90 and 20 M109A4 155mm Self Propelled Howitzers
