A top Ukrainian intelligence official has revealed crucial information about Russia’s missile stockpile, providing insights into the arsenal available for ongoing military operations. According to the report, Russia holds around 300 long-range missiles, including Kalibr cruise missiles and Iskander ballistic systems. This marks a significant decrease from earlier in the conflict, raising concerns about Russia’s diminishing missile capabilities.
The official highlighted that sanctions and logistical issues have hampered Russia’s ability to produce precision-guided munitions, potentially limiting its capacity for sustained large-scale attacks. However, the report cautioned that Russia can still prioritize key military objectives by utilizing its remaining missile reserves.
This revelation comes as Ukraine escalates its counteroffensive to reclaim occupied territories. Western nations continue to emphasize their commitment to supporting Ukraine, stressing the importance of military aid to counter Russian aggression.
The disclosed stockpile figures are expected to impact ongoing discussions within NATO and other international bodies about military assistance and sanctions. Experts believe that understanding Russia’s shrinking missile reserves could provide a strategic advantage for Ukraine as the conflict enters a decisive phase.
Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving situation.
