Russians have less than 200 Iskanders left and they keep them. Instead, they launch old S-300 missiles to Ukraine, which should be removed. Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, stated this in the podcast of Ukrainian Pravda and the "(Un)Safe Country" Center for Defense Strategies.

Iskander is now used very rarely. The last time, literally in August, when they applied to the Kyiv region, and it was from Belarus territory.

The number of missiles depends on what the Russian Federation is currently using. We counted S-300 missiles that have been in storage for more than 30 years, most of which are 35-40 years old. This is essentially a missile that must be removed from the combat formation. There are about 7 thousand of them.

It is very easy to dispose of it. Instead of spending money on disposal, they are simply released on our territory. If you calculate how many they use, they will have enough of these missiles for another three years.

"Kalibr systems, according to estimates, they could produce 150-180 missiles a year. And they are saving their stock because about 70% of the components are not of Russian production," said Ukraine's military intelligence representative.
