Russia used more than half of its missiles – GUR

Ministry of Defense intelligence found that Russia had no more than 45% of the missiles it had before the war began.

Russia’s high-precision weapons are on the verge of exhaustion, and there are almost no reserves for some types of missiles. This was stated by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Vadim Skibitsky in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, published on Saturday, August 27.

“They have high-precision weapons that are on the verge. According to all regulatory documents, they should have 30% reserves, and there are almost no reserves for some types of missiles. For example, for both Iskanders. Therefore, they used other means of destruction. They are already actively using Hurricane , Tornado that allows shelling at a short distance, at 70-80, up to a maximum of 100 kilometers,” said Skibitsky.

He noted that, according to intelligence estimates, the Russian Federation had no more than 45% of the missiles that existed before the start of the war. In particular, about 20% of what remained of the Iskanders, and perhaps even less, also left not such a large number of Calibers.

“Therefore, they use these X-22s and S-300s in the ground version. But these stocks are running out,” said the GUR representative.

As for the Kinzhal missiles, according to Skibitsky, Russia has 30-40 of them left.

“They used, effective weapons, but they use it to show strength for us and our partners. The United States and China are included, showing that they have hypersonic weapons,” he added.

Skibitsky added that these samples were the first to enter service, however, they did not enter mass production.

Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the total number of various cruise missiles used by Russia against Ukraine is approaching 3.5 thousand.
