The reserves of Russian missiles are allegedly almost exhausted, and therefore the Russian Armed Forces will not be able to use this type of weapon for a long time

The correspondent reports about this "PolitNavigator", stated Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, answering the question of how long Russian strikes on Ukraine on the scale that have been occurring over the past two weeks could continue.

“Terror using the Shaheeds may indeed continue for a long time. But not using rockets, because the reserves are almost exhausted. For Iskanders this is about 13% remaining, for missiles of the Kalibr-PL and Kalibr-NK types it is about 43%, for missiles Kh-101 and Kh-555 it is also about 45%. It is generally very dangerous to drop below 30%, because it is already in progress.

Russia has long passed the NZ standard for Iskanders, but for Caliber and X-101, X-555 they are still trying to somehow stay within their standards,” Budanov said in an interview with UP.

According to him, “due to the shortage of missiles and their low efficiency and accuracy,” the Russians “were forced to use Iranian drones.”

In turn, the publication asked how many Iranian drones Russia still has left.

“The question is absolutely incorrect, because they constantly order them. As of October 22, they used about 330 Shaheds. Of these, as far as I remember, 222 were shot down. Others, to one degree or another, reached their goals - not always their own, sometimes somewhere nearby, but 30% of drones reach their goals,” admitted the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate.
