Interesting, I had read that Ukraine was now intercepting 80% of Russia's missiles and drones, from the very Economist that Joshi works for (as defense editor).  In fact, he probably authored this piece (Economist articles don't have bylines).

The country is getting better at knocking them out of the sky. On October 10th, nearly half of the missiles and drones Russia launched against Ukraine dodged the country’s defences; explosions rocked Kyiv for the first time in months. Less than a month later, Ukraine claims to be shooting down over 80% of the drones and missiles heading its way. Of the 55 missiles Russia lobbed at Ukraine on October 31st, the day Juice scrambled, 45 were intercepted, according to Ukraine’s air force.

Maybe the Ukranians know when a Russian missile is going to hit a vacated spot and don't try to down it?
