r*ssia makes a lot of missiles, as long as they are able to make them they will fire them. Nothing wrong in this statement. Ballistic missiles are fired largely in ones or twos and they are mostly successfull at reaching the target. AA struggles with ballistic missiles since V-2. SAMs in UA are imported, there is no homegrown system yet unless you count soviet upgrades (which aren't being made anymore).

Most missiles aren't ballistic, those are generally the highest tier ones.

And? They fired at least two ballistic missiles yesterday, they will fire similar number today, and tomorrow, and the day after. AA is cool, destroying engine plant and killing 50+% of workers there - no more missiles.
