"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.
