The aggressor Russia plans to carry out several more massive strikes on Ukrainian energy this spring. As the enemy's missile reserves are depleting, the aggressor will need another pause to replenish its arsenal.
This was stated by the representative of the Ukrainian Defence Intelligence, Major General Vadym Skibitskyi.
"Currently in Russia, according to our estimates, there are about 950 high-precision missiles of operational-strategic and strategic levels with a range of over 350 kilometers. We observe a tendency that they usually try to keep their reserves at a level of no less than 900 missiles," he said.
According to Skibitskyi, the occupiers initiate a series of strikes when they have over 900 missiles in reserve. However, when their stockpiles decrease to this figure, the mass strikes go on pause. Currently, the Russians are approaching the limit - 900 missiles.
"According to our data, Russia plans to produce about 40 "X-101" missiles in April. We predict that the Russians will be able to conduct several more mass attacks (2-3 - specifically mass attacks). Then they will be forced to take another pause to accumulate missiles and "Shaheds". However, separate local shelling may continue," the representative of the Defence Intelligence explained.
Skibitskyi emphasizes that Russia is accumulating reserves of 3M-14 "Kalibr" cruise missiles, which the enemy has not used since September. Currently, the occupiers have at least 260 units in stock. Moreover, in April, they plan to produce 30 such missiles.
The intelligence believes that in the near future Russia will resume more active use of the "Kalibrs", as their stocks of "X-101" missiles are decreasing.
"As for the high-speed missiles flying from the southern direction, it is currently difficult to determine whether they are "Zircons" or upgraded "Onyxes". However, if we talk about ordinary "Onyxes", according to our data, the Russians have 440 units in stock. Currently, they have been able to resume production at a rate of 6-8 missiles per month," Skibitskyi said.
