Russia has about 900 high-precision long-range missiles - Ihnat

Russia still has about 900 high-precision long-range missiles.

Yurii Ihnat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this on the air of the 'United News' telethon, a Ukrinform correspondent reported.

Answering the question about the number of high-precision long-range missiles in Russia, Ihnat referred to the data of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

"According to the latest data, this is the same figure as in the previous period: Russia still has about 900 high-precision long-range missiles. This is because the enemy used a large number of missiles during three major combined attacks from January 29 to January 8. Despite what they produce, they also lose. That is why the number is at the same level now," he said.

According to him, Russia produces about 100 missiles a month.

The Air Force spokesperson also noted that the invaders are now using few " Kalibr " missiles - three such missiles were used in the period from January 29 to January 8 during the shelling of Ukraine (January 2).

He said that the enemy mainly strikes with ballistic missiles, while Ukraine has "not many means that can destroy ballistic missiles." 

As reported, on the night of January 28, 2024, the enemy attacked with eight Shahed-136/131 strike UAVs from the southeast (Primorsko-Akhtarsk - Russia), two Iskander-M missiles in the Poltava region from the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation, and three S-300 air defense systems in the Donetsk region from the TOT.
