Russia could have accumulated up to 900 long-range precision missiles before winter. It is likely that the Russians could use them to attack Ukraine. This was reported by Yuriy Ihnat, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, during a telethon.
"Yes, for several months now there has been no such shelling as there was in the summer. If you summarize, more than 100 missiles were used every summer month. In the past autumn months, there have been no such intense missile attacks. We see more X-59s and X-31s. But there are also Iskander-M and Iskander-K," the speaker said.
Ihnat added that, according to the General Staff and the Air Force, in autumn, the Russian Federation uses several dozen missiles a month to strike Ukraine. According to him, the Russians could have accumulated up to 900 long-range precision missiles.
"Russia's capabilities have been announced by the GUR. They can produce 100 missiles a month. Therefore, we can make a certain mathematical conclusion that 870 or maybe even 900 (missiles). This is the number of high-precision long-range missiles, in addition to aircraft missiles (Kh-59, Kh-31, Kh-35), as well as Onyx, and S-300 missiles. We are talking only about long-range missiles," Ihnat explained.
The Air Force spokesman also commented on the statement by the spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, Natalia Humeiuk, that Russia could have concentrated up to 800 missiles in Crimea. He noted that Humeiuk was referring to the entire stockpile of missiles in Russia and the occupied territories. Ihnat does not rule out the possibility that some of the Russian missiles could be on the peninsula.
