The uncontrolled skies from Ukraine had an impact on the southern operation in 2023. We don't control the sky, we don't have enough appropriate ammunition, but that doesn't mean we won't find a way out, or haven't already. But we really need support for this, because we simply do not have some of the ammunition. We are working on it.
