As expected, the reason for the landing of the Embraer E195LR (EW-513PO) in Astrakhan was a technical malfunction, but the situation turned out to be quite serious.
According to “Aviaincident” Telegram channel, the Belavia plane (EW-513PO) landed at the Astrakhan airfield due to the failure of one of the engines. The message about it was received by e-mail at 01:47 Minsk time.

Considering Ukraine's pre-war air defense force & the number of new systems needed to replace them, this inadequacy is very apparent. 30 batteries of 9K35 Strela-10, 30 batteries of 9K33 Osa & 9K330 Tor, 30 batteries of 9K37 Buk & 30 batteries of S-300P/V need replacement.

Setting aside the short & medium range needs, if we just consider the long range & high altitude (the most critical component to defend against missiles), Ukraine will be lucky to operate a combined 10 PATRIOT & SAMP/T FUs/batteries by year end; out of a required 30.

Ukraine is contending with the classic missile defense dilemma: interceptors are often more expensive, and certainly more scarce, than the targets they seek to destroy.
The solution?
Ukraine must be empowered by President Biden to shoot the archer, not just the arrow.

I don't know who coined this idiom, but the oldest instance I found of it in the context of missile defense is from a 1988 @SteveEngelberg article in NYT. An officer in the US Navy used it to illustrate their air and missile defense doctrine to Engelberg.

Engelberg explained: "Because missiles can be fired well before the plane carrying them is in view, American military doctrine calls for the captain to defend his ship by knocking down hostile aircraft as soon as he believes he is under attack."
