Russian troops are stockpiling missiles for strikes on Ukraine. In particular, we are talking about Iskander-M ballistic missiles.
The Russians are stockpiling ballistic missiles
Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Air Force, said on the telethon air that it is not so easy to find out the enemy's intentions. Still, there is an understanding that the Russian Federation is stockpiling missiles.
We understand that the enemy is accumulating certain means. These are cruise missiles. In particular, ballistic missiles, I mean Iskander-M.
He added that compared to the fall of 2023, the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine more actively in the summer.
We saw Daggers, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones in the summer. Now, closer to the cold season, the enemy began to use air-based missiles: Kh-101, Kh-555. Well, we have already seen "Iskanders" and S-400 missiles, which were used in the attacks on Kyiv.
Ignat emphasized that the enemy has enough strike drones for daily attacks on Ukraine from various directions.
Well, we have already seen their record application just recently in our capital. Therefore, of course, the enemy has and will fire missiles with them, but we need to increase our capabilities to shoot down the kamikaze drones.
