Due to the lack of high-precision missiles, the Russian Federation combines their launches with drones and old-type missiles.

"The Russians currently have a shortage of Iskander ballistic missiles, the stock of Kalibr missiles is nearing its end, the number of Kh-101, Kh-555 air-launched cruise missile is shrinking," Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said during the nationwide telethon, Ukrinform reports with reference to Radio Liberty.

However, Russia keeps producing missiles: "We are now finding fragments of missiles manufactured in the fourth quarter of 2022. So, they are produced and immediately provided to the troops to fire at our facilities," he added.

According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence, the Russian military now uses various configurations of Iranian drones, old-type missiles, high-precision ballistic missiles, and modified S-300 missiles.

On December 31, January 1 and 2, the Russian military launched a new series of attacks on Ukraine using Iranian-made drones and missiles. As a result of these attacks, Ukraine’s energy infrastructure did not suffer serious damage, electricity supply was ensured on New Year’s Eve and on January 1 almost without complications. However, civilians were killed and several dozen people were injured in Kyiv and Khmelnytskyi cities.
