The russians have been stockpiling missiles for some time and then using them immediately. However, they still have a certain stockpile

This was reported by Espresso.

The spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ilya Yevlash, told on the air of the telethon United News.

He noted that the russians have quite a few missiles left, according to Ukrainian intelligence - about a thousand. However, the enemy is constantly using new missiles, so their stockpile has already been significantly exhausted.

"We can see this from analyzing the missiles that the enemy has used recently. For example, when they used the Zircon, the Kyiv Research and Expert Center found that the missile was quite new, manufactured after the full-scale invasion", Yevlash said.

Analyzing the nature and purpose of russia's missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine, the Air Force spokesman added that the russians accumulate a stockpile over a period of time and then immediately use it.

"That is, they have little time, they just made this missile and immediately put it into action. In particular, the russians use and test these missiles in combat conditions. They are testing our air defense, testing their missiles, and North Korean missiles have also been used on our territory. Therefore, one of the functions of such strikes is reconnaissance," he added.

As Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, noted on Espresso, after certain pauses, which the russian federation needs to restore missile stocks, the enemy can continue terrorist attacks on various critical and civilian infrastructure of Ukraine.

"The enemy has not abandoned its terrorist practices. In addition, today he has a certain range of missile weapons that has not been used recently. These are the same "calibers" that pose a certain danger. The enemy does not comply with international humanitarian law, has not abandoned missile strikes, so the air alert is a serious signal, and the whole country, both civilians and military, should treat it responsibly," Yusov emphasized.
  • On the morning of Monday, March 25, russian terrorists launched a missile attack on the capital of Ukraine. Air defense forces destroyed two russian ballistic missiles over Kyiv. According to Defense Express sources, russia struck Kyiv with two newest Zircon missiles.
