According to him, now Russia can produce in 2 months what it spent at the beginning of the war in a day, and as of October 2022 – in a month.
Exactly two months ago, on September 21, the Russians carried out their last missile strike using air-launched Kh-101/555 cruise missiles. On September 25, they used the Caliber SLCM and, likewise, have not used them since that time.
As noted by military-political observer Alexander Kovalenko, over the past two months, only due to the production of missiles, the ROV could prepare at least 120 Kh-101/555 units and from 60 to 90 Caliber SLCMs.
“To understand, if anyone has forgotten, this is not even the potential of a missile strike on February 24, 2022. For the entire October 2022, Russia used more than 170 missiles in Ukraine, of different types, but mainly Kh-101/555. Despite the presence of missile production, Russia is unable to replenish their ammunition as quickly as it should use them often in order to obtain conditional efficiency.In 2022-2023, it did not achieve its goal – a total blackout throughout Ukraine and the complete destruction of the energy system, but only provoked its strengthening as survivability and protection,” he wrote.
According to him, now Russia can produce in 2 months what it spent at the beginning of the war in a day, and as of October 2022 – in a month.
“Of course, this will affect the tactics of using missiles in the winter of 2023-2024, which will play a secondary role, and kamikaze drones, on the contrary, will play a major role,” he added.
Russia’s accumulation of missiles – details
Russia is stockpiling cruise missiles ahead of the winter season. This was reported by the British Ministry of Defense on the X network (Twitter), citing intelligence data.
Intelligence is convinced that it is highly likely that Russia will use these missiles if it repeats last year’s attempts to destroy Ukraine’s critical national infrastructure.
