The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, in an interview with Ukrainian Pravda, said that the stocks of missiles in Russia are running out, so terror using missiles may soon end.
“For Iskanders, this is about 13% left, for missiles of the Kalibr-PL, Kalibr-NK types, this is about 43%, for Kh-101 and Kh-555 missiles, also about 45%. To sag below 30% is generally very dangerous because it is already underway emergency reserve,†Budanov said.
According to him, according to the Iskanders, Russia has long passed the emergency reserve, but according to the Kalibr and Kh-101, Kh-555, they are still trying to somehow keep within their norms.
Meanwhile, Russia is already using the second batch of drones ordered from Iran.
“They ordered about 1,700 of all types of drones, now the second batch has left. You have to understand, they ordered 1700 pieces, but they still need to be made. So there are some problems here too. But, as you can see, the air defense, in principle, copes, 70% were shot down,†says Budanov.
He notes that due to the lack of missiles and their low efficiency and accuracy, they were forced to use Iranian drones. “This is Mohajer-6, which, in principle, did not show itself here, and Shahed-136. They use Shahed en masse here,†the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate notes.
As of October 22, the occupiers used about 330 "Shaheds". Of these, 222 were shot down, Budanov said.
