In total, Russia produces 20-22 Kalibr-type missiles and 15-20 X-101-type missiles per month, the intelligence chief said.
The Russian Federation has a small percentage of the total number of missile stocks left. At the same time, the Russians produce fewer missiles per month than they use in one salvo.
“Small percentages of the total amount remain. They produce less than they are used in one salvo, production does not keep up. Russia is not the Soviet Union,” Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said in an interview with Forbes.
According to him, in general, the Russian Federation produces 20-22 Kalibr-type missiles and 15-20 X-101-type missiles per month.
“That’s why the number of rockets decreases in each salvo. The intensity of shelling drops. At first, mass rocket attacks were every Monday, then once every eight days, now – once every ten days, two weeks. They reduce the number of rockets and increase the time interval,” he noted. he.
According to Budanov, the Russian Federation does not have the capacity to produce more missiles. At the same time, the head of intelligence shamed the Russians for the fact that they buy “washing machines, vacuum cleaners and disassemble them into microcircuits, which will then be inserted into missiles” from China: “This is a great shame even for Russian ideology.”
