They would need hundreds of longe rran ge missile-based air defences. They got some 30 (counting missile platform air defence, add the Tunguska and Gepard Flak tanks whith their limited range).
Most of there air defences already focus on protecting industrial and infrastructure hotspots, thats why their troops in the field have so little protection.
They simply do not have enough of anything.

Latest developments in the US regadsing the state budget and fighting over a shutdown (which many Republicans desperately want to spread chaos of which they hope they would benefit), are most worrying for Ukraine. While Europe already gives more financial aid than the US now and so far roughly as many wepaons as the US did, The uS nevertheless are a major pillar of support, and if they stoip to be that, than things will turn zugly. Europe is especially in the military realm not capable to compensate for a total American retreat from support for Ukraine. But right that US dropout is a very realistic possible scenario now.
