700 percent

Between 2023 and 2025, Russia increased the number of ballistic missiles it fired at Ukraine, &amp; by extension its production capacity, by over 700 percent. However, the share of ballistic missiles Ukraine was able to intercept &amp; neutralize dropped by 36 percent.

On June 24, the White House sent Congress a supplemental budget request. About one-third of the request, or $32.7 billion, appears to be driven by the costs of the Iran war.
