Russia Strike Exposes Ukraine Air Defense Gap Before NATO Summit
Context
Ukraine failed to intercept a single Russian ballistic missile in a deadly overnight attack on the eve of the NATO summit, highlighting Kyiv’s growing vulnerability as shortages of US-made Patriot air defenses become acute and peace talks remain stalled.
What it means
The prior signal already captured the core Gold and Defense moves from this ongoing Russia-NATO conflict thread. The one genuinely new element here is the acute, publicly exposed Patriot shortfall surfacing right at the NATO summit — which adds marginal upward pressure on defense procurement names like Lockheed and RTX beyond what was already called. Gold and broad risk-off moves are already reflected in the prior chain.
