## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, Russia is likely to sustain high‑volume missile and drone salvos against Ukraine’s military‑industrial and urban infrastructure, deliberately saturating defenses and forcing Ukraine to expend large portions of its remaining high‑end interceptors. As stocks dwindle faster than Western resupply, Kyiv will be compelled to triage protection around key cities and critical infrastructure, increasing vulnerability in secondary regions. This will intensify Ukraine’s appeals for faster and larger air‑defense deliveries and may spur NATO to re‑prioritize its own stockpiles and production lines, with implications for Alliance readiness. Confirmation would be continued multi‑wave attacks, Ukrainian reports of interceptor shortages, and emergency Western aid packages; denial would be a noticeable reduction in Russian salvo density or unexpected ramp‑up of Ukrainian interceptor production.

## Drivers

- Putin’s order for ongoing mass strikes on Ukraine’s defense industry and infrastructure
- Documented adoption of high‑density 'avalanche' missile tactics
- Ukraine’s already stretched air‑defense inventory and dependence on Western stocks
