Now in Russia, according to our estimates, there remain about 950 high-precision missiles of the operational-strategic and strategic level with a range of more than 350 km. We observe a trend that they, as a rule, try to keep their stocks at a level of at least 900 missiles, Vadim Skibitsky reported.
According to him, in April of this year Russia aims to develop about 40 Kh-101 missiles.
We predict that the Russians will be able to carry out several more massive attacks (2-3 – precisely massive ones), and then they will again be forced to take some pause to accumulate missiles and suicide bombers. However, isolated local attacks may continue,” Skibitsky said.
He also described the situation with Russian Kalibr cruise missiles, which the aggressor has hardly used since the fall of 2023.
The aggressor is accumulating a stock of 3M14 “Caliber” cruise missiles and has at least 260 units. Moreover, they plan to produce 30 such missiles in April of this year, noted a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
At the same time, he recalled that the Russians are modernizing Onyx anti-ship missiles.
As for high-speed missiles flying from the southern direction, it is difficult to determine whether they are Zircon missiles or modernized Onyxes,” Skibitsky noted, adding that the stock of conventional Onyxes in Russia is 440 units.
