As a representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine states, the russian federation produces 15-20 Kalibr ballistic missiles and about 30 Kh-101 missiles per month.

"According to our estimates, they [russia] can now produce approximately 30 units of Kh-101 per month. Speaking of Kalibr, we think [they produce] 15-20 units per month," the representative of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, Vadym Skibitsky, told RBC-Ukraine news agency in an interview, Ukrinform reports.

"In general, according to regulatory documents, the strategic stockpile should be 30% of the entire stockpile of missiles. But they have already been using the reserve of all types of missiles: Iskander, Kalibr, Kh-101, Kh-555. That is, they already have less than 30% of reserves. This shows that it is really a problematic issue for them to replenish their reserves," Vadym Skibitsky said.

The representative of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence also noted that there are not many Kinzhal hypersonic missiles left in the Russian army, they are used quite sparingly.

"They don't have that many Kinzhal missiles. If they fire them all, they will have nothing to frighten the world with. They now use Kinzhal missiles to demonstrate and intimidate, show that they have weapons no one can shoot down. Accordingly, they maintain the tension regarding the possibility of using these weapons not only against us but also against other European countries," representative of Ukraine’s intelligence underlined.

Vadym Skibitsky also touched enemy tactics saying that the invaders would try new approaches. "If they don't have enough missiles for a massive attack, they will combine high-precision missiles, Kh-22, and S-300 – especially in the frontline areas – and kamikaze drones. You see how the russians actively used them for two days in a row. Now they are preparing missiles for the next massive attack. That is, they will combine means to maintain the pace of strikes on our civilian infrastructure objects," the representative of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence noted.
