Russia Adapts Missiles, Evading Ukraine's Patriot Defenses

Russia is changing its missiles to make it harder for Ukraine to shoot them down.

They're modifying the Iskander-M and Kinzhal missiles to swerve or dive suddenly, confusing the Patriot systems that try to stop them.

Before the changes, the Patriots stopped many missiles, but now they're hitting fewer.

This is partly because of the new tricks the missiles are using, and because Ukraine is waiting for more interceptors.

This makes it tougher for Ukraine to protect its important places and could cause problems this winter.
