Ukraine's Air Force spox: Enemy has lost about cruise 650 missiles since Sept
Russia has lost about 650 cruise missiles and the same number of kamikaze drones in Ukraine over the past five months. Currently, the enemy can change its warfare tactics based on the number of weapons left.
According to Ukrinform, Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat said this on Ukrainian television.
"Since September 11, when they started hitting our infrastructure, Russia has lost about 650 cruise missiles and about 650 Iranian kamikaze drones just by being shot down. We still need to add 20-25% of missiles launched at Ukraine, and you can imagine how many of them were used," he said.
Ihnat added that the issue concerns high-precision weapons - Iskanders, Kalibrs and Kh-101s. According to him, the enemy can still produce these missiles, but the volume of production cannot meet the costs.
At the same time, Ihnat said the Russians still had Soviet S-300 missiles. Although they may not reach the target due to a malfunction, the enemy has a lot of them, so the front-line areas are under attack. Ihnat emphasized the need to destroy the missile launchers.
