Russia faces a shortage of high-precision missiles – British intelligence

The use of an anti-aircraft missile on a humanitarian convoy at the exit from Zaporozhye indicates a lack of ammunition.

The Russian invaders fired an anti-aircraft missile at a humanitarian convoy at the exit from Zaporozhye. This indicates that Russia is facing a shortage of ammunition, especially precision-guided missiles. It was said by British intelligence, saying goodbye the British Ministry of Defense on its Twitter account on Friday, October 1.

“On September 30, 2022, Russian troops almost certainly hit a convoy southeast of the city of Zaporozhye. Local authorities reported 25 civilian deaths. The bullet was most likely a Russian long-range anti-aircraft missile used to strike ground targets”, the message said.

Such missiles are an invaluable resource, British intelligence said. Their main task is to destroy aircraft and shells during shelling. The stock of these missiles in Russia is limited, according to the department.

“Its use for ground attack is almost certainly driven by a general shortage of munitions, especially long-range precision-guided missiles,” the statement said.

The RF spends valuable military resources trying to gain a tactical advantage, but in doing so it kills civilians. Moreover, after the so-called “referendums” and annexation attempts, Russia called the inhabitants of the region “its own”, the British Ministry of Defense said.

Recall that on the morning of September 30, the invaders launched a missile attack on Zaporozhye. As a result, a civilian humanitarian convoy with civilians outside the city suffered.

Later it became known that 62 victims from the column fired by the Russians were taken to hospitals in Zaporozhye.
