      Yes, but it speaks to the “if the problem is more on Russia firing many more missiles” bit that you raised. I suspect that it’s probably more-practical to dramatically reduce Russia’s access to a continued supply of ballistic missiles than to dramatically reduce Ukraine’s access to a continued supply of ballistic missile interceptors.
