烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基近日受訪時透露,美國目前提供烏國的愛國者(Patriot)防空系統攔截彈數量大幅縮減,每月僅剩12枚,約為拜登政府時期的4分之1。他也指出,烏克蘭與歐洲盟友透過北約協調機制付款採購的部分武器,目前仍有項目未獲美方批准交付。
澤倫斯基是在接受《彭博》(Bloomberg)專訪時發表上述言論。他說明,拜登政府時期,美國是以軍事援助方式直接提供愛國者彈藥;但在川普政府上台後,改由美國出售武器,費用則由烏克蘭及其歐洲盟友共同負擔。
已付款武器仍有部分未獲批准交付
澤倫斯基表示,烏克蘭透過北約協調的「優先烏克蘭需求清單」(PURL)機制籌措經費,支付包括愛國者攔截彈在內的採購項目。雖然烏方已完成付款程序,但美方目前僅批准部分交付,其餘清單仍待批准,他強調延遲原因並非技術問題。
愛國者系統是烏克蘭現役唯一能有效攔截俄羅斯伊斯坎德爾-M(Iskander-M)彈道飛彈及空射「匕首」(Kinzhal)極音速飛彈的西方防空系統之一,而法國與義大利研製的SAMP/T雖具備類似能力,但烏軍部署數量相當有限。烏國官員多次強調彈藥短缺。
澤倫斯基並透露,他曾向美方提議,烏方願停止攻擊俄羅斯境內的柴油與煉油設施,作為美方加速提供愛國者飛彈保護烏國基礎設施的交換條件。然而,這項談判目前陷入僵局。
洛克希德.馬丁(Lockheed Martin)公司雖正根據多年期合約加速生產PAC-3 MSE攔截飛彈,但這類先進武裝同時面臨美軍自身、歐洲、中東及亞洲盟友的巨量需求壓力。澤倫斯基重申,他將持續與美方交涉,期盼能儘速獲准交付已付款的剩餘彈藥,以確保烏國防空體系在冬季能維持基本運作。

Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, was attacked by Russian missiles and drones in the early morning of the 19th, killing one person and injuring eight others, and completely destroying the data center. President Zelenskiy confirmed that Kyiv had not received advance warning from the United States, highlighting that there may still be concerns about the intelligence sharing mechanism.

A social media account operated by the People's Liberation Army criticized the continued use of Japan's military flag by the Self-Defence Forces, calling advocacy for militarism an offense against human conscience and describing the incident as egregious and shocking.

For the first time, Chinese officials disclosed that the third-generation Long March series of nuclear submarines participated in a submarine-launched strategic missile test in the Pacific in July this year, but did not announce the specific models of the submarines and missiles. This report is part of a series commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Red Army’s Long March.

Belgium will expand its military aid to Ukraine and plans to deliver 10 F-16 fighter jets by the end of this year, three more than originally scheduled. It is also considering providing 20mm cannon ammunition to help the Ukrainian army shoot down Russian high-speed drones at a low cost and save expensive air-to-air missiles.

The U.S. Navy has added an additional $99.1 million to the contract for the final Zwart-class stealth destroyer "USS Johnson" to modify the conventional fast-strike hypersonic missile system. The relevant sea trials and engineering are scheduled to be completed in October 2028. The ship is currently being refitted at the Pascagoula Shipyard in Mississippi, and the original schedule for service in 2027 has been postponed. The Zivat-class destroyers were originally equipped with a 155 mm advanced naval gun system, but it was canceled due to the high cost of long-range artillery shells. Later, it was decided to remove the naval guns and modify them into hypersonic missile launch tubes. The first ship "Jewart" has completed the modification and will undergo sea trials in January 2026. The second ship "Monsoor" is expected to be installed with the same system when it enters the factory in the future. The CPS hypersonic missile and the US Army's "Dark Eagle" weapon share a gliding vehicle, making it more difficult for the air defense system to intercept.

The Army Flower Defense Department will conduct a live explosion training at the Mingli Bridge in Fuli Township, Hualien County on the morning of the 20th. It is expected to blow up three old bridge piers to verify its ability to block enemy advances in wartime. This operation is in conjunction with the local government's bridge reconstruction project, which requires the demolition of the old bridge first. The Akari Bridge was damaged by the Ikegami earthquake and Typhoon Kaiwai and is currently closed. The military will implement traffic control and emphasize training safety and risk management.
