The Russians still have a significant number of missiles left. The Russian forces use them for various purposes, such as combat conditions and testing the combat readiness of the Ukrainian Air Defense.

This was reported by the spokesperson for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ilya Yevlash, during a telethon.

"There are still quite a few missiles left with the Russians. According to the General Staff, they have almost 1000 left. And the enemy constantly uses new missiles. So, their supply is significantly depleted," he said.

As Yevlash noted, these data come from an analysis of the missiles recently used by the Russian forces, including hypersonic Zircon missiles.

"Yes, our Kyiv Expert and Research Center found that the missile was quite new. It was produced during the full-scale invasion," said the spokesperson for the Air Force.

He pointed out that the Russians accumulate reserves over time and then use them.

"So, we see that they don't have much time. They just made the missile and immediately launch it into battle," he noted.

In particular, the Russian forces use and test missiles in combat conditions.

"As we can see, they test our Air Defense systems, their missiles, and others. Even North Korean missiles have been used on our territory. So, one of the functions of such strikes is reconnaissance," Yevlash concluded.
