In commenting why the Russian forces have started to use kamikaze drones less and less frequently, Yuriy Ihnat said that the enemy might be running out of them.
"The leadership of the state said that Russia has ordered 2,400 [kamikaze drones], but we do not know whether they have such quantity and we do not know whether they are able to produce the number [of drones] Russian wants. Probably, this is why they slightly reduced the frequency of attacks with Iranian-made drones," he said, adding that the enemy is also facing a serious shortage of Iskander missiles.
The spokesperson of the Ukrainian Air Force Command also said that Russia still has enough Kh-22 missiles and thousands of S-300 missiles.
