possibly as early as January before picking up attention last week after a New York Times report.<\/p>\n<p>There may be more documents to come, but the leak has already done a lot of damage, forcing crucial U.S. allies to respond in what has become an arguably embarrassing incident for Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the seven biggest revelations in the documents so far.<\/p>\n<h2><span

Soviet-era air defense systems deployed by Ukraine will soon run out, potentially imperiling Kyiv in the war against Russia, documents show.<\/p>\n<p>The S300 missile defense system is expected to run

89 percent of Ukraine\u2019s air defenses and are vital to fending off frequent Russian missile strikes.<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon documents suggested that Ukraine could withstand only a few more waves of Russian missile strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Russian military bloggers and state-run <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\"

\u201ctop secret\u201d document says.<\/p>\n<p>An early February assessment indicates \u201cforce generation and sustainment shortfall\u201d for Ukraine\u2019s military,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow

class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>All the buzz around the leaks is likely to lead to a crackdown in Moscow on communications intercepts and internal leaking.<\/p>\n<p>Some analysts have said Russia is aware of U.S. intelligence gathering methods and has already been working to plug up holes.<\/p>\n<p>But Kurt Volker, a distinguished fellow with the Center for European Policy Analyses, told The Hill this week that Russia will certainly start looking more closely now.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ll be scouring this and trying

He allegedly ordered his subordinates to keep the arms deal secret from western allies.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt is a key U.S. ally in the Middle East region. The U.S. provides more than $1 billion to Cairo annually.<\/p>\n<p>White House national security spokesman\u00a0John Kirby on Tuesday\u00a0said the U.S. has not seen evidence to indicate Egypt has followed through on those plans. A senior Egyptian official also denied the allegations in comments carried by state media.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
