Russia’s secret weapon just destroyed Trump's last hope? Zircon & Iskander duo changes everything

Ukraine is facing growing pressure as Russia intensifies missile attacks using Zircon hypersonic missiles and Iskander ballistic missiles, while Kyiv warns that a shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles is limiting its ability to defend against ballistic threats. Ukrainian officials say drones and cruise missiles are still being intercepted, but ballistic missiles remain increasingly difficult to stop. President Volodymyr Zelensky has renewed calls for more Patriot air defence systems, while Donald Trump has proposed granting Ukraine a licence to manufacture Patriot missiles in the future. Defence analysts say domestic production could strengthen Ukraine's long-term air defence but is unlikely to solve the immediate shortage of interceptor missiles as Russia continues its large-scale missile campaign.
