In almost eight months of full-scale war, according to the Minister of Defence of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov, Russia has used up two-thirds of its arsenal of high-precision missiles. As of October 14, it had approximately 609 of 1,844 such munitions left.
The head of Ukrainian defence intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, said that Russia is already using its remaining stock of Iskanders (13% left) and is still trying to "stay within its norms" with regard to Kalibrs and the Kh-101 and Kh-555 missiles (43% and 45% remaining, respectively).
The Russians are already using Iranian-made kamikaze drones, and are allegedly planning to use Iranian-made ballistic missiles as well as Iranian helmets and body armour for newly mobilised recruits.
Iran denies that it is arming Russia for the war, but media reports say a deal on additional drones and surface-to-surface missiles was reached on 6 October.
