Footage has been released showing a Russian "Geran-2" drone striking a Ukrainian dry-cargo ship in the Black Sea. Additionally, footage has been published showing a Russian "Lancet-51" kamikaze drone striking a new Ukrainian maritime drone, the "Sargan-3000."
As expected by various analysts, UKR has run out missiles for Patriot ADS. The interceptor deployment by FP is expected by next year.
Ukraine has run out of missiles for the US-made Patriot air defense system, leaving it more vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks, a source familiar with the situation told CNN on Thursday.
The stark development comes amid an increasingly bitter public feud between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky. In recent days, the White House struck a highly criticized deal to import Russian diesel and heaped increasing pressure on Ukraine to halt its strikes on Russia’s oil infrastructure.
Zelensky said he felt betrayed by Trump’s deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin and has since announced Ukraine would continue striking Russian refineries.
For months, Zelensky has repeatedly warned that Ukraine is running out of the US-made Patriot interceptor missiles, which are one of the few defensive weapons capable of knocking down a ballistic missile.
But the interceptors are both expensive and in short supply globally, as other countries have burned through their stockpiles or sought to shore up their own defense systems amid the war in Iran.
The source told CNN that “almost all the ballistic missiles from the last strike were not intercepted due to lack of the (interceptor) missiles.”

Last data point is on the 11th, last 4 days is probably an extrapolation from the point gradient.

A Russian drone struck the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, killing two women and an infant and injuring at least 14 people, Ivan Vyhivskyi, Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine reported on October 19.
The attack hit the park while many civilians were there, including families with children, Vyhivskyi wrote.
An infant in a stroller was among those killed. At least seven children were among the wounded.
Emergency services were working at the scene, providing first aid to the injured and checking the area for explosive hazards.
“Yet another Russian strike against civilians. An attack on children that served no military purpose whatsoever,” Vyhivskyi stated.
Earlier on October 19, Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region, killing at least two people and injuring 14 others, including three children. The attack involved ballistic and cruise missiles as well as 269 drones, damaging homes, medical facilities, schools, transport infrastructure, and other civilian sites.
