Despite the production indicators, the Russian army can launch up to 100 missiles at the same time, and they still have the opportunity and reserves for 2-3 massive attacks. For example, they hardly unpacked the stockpile of Kalibr missiles, of which the Russians could accumulate up to 200 units.

Russia is stockpiling missiles for a new attack on Ukraine

Defense Express expert Ivan Kyrychevskyy believes that Russia retains opportunities for mass shelling of the territory of Ukraine for a long time

I think that, unfortunately, the Russians will have enough resources to maintain such a pace of massive shelling of the territory of Ukraine at least until spring.

Kyrychevskyy emphasised that the Russian military industry's production capacity remains high despite the sanctions.

Because, despite the production indicators, they can launch up to 100 missiles at the same time and they still have the opportunity and reserves for 2-3 massive attacks. This applies to almost all types of their rockets. "They hardly unpacked the stockpile of Kalibr missiles, which they could accumulate up to 200 units," Kyrychevskyy said.

The expert emphasised that there are missiles in Russia's arsenal that the Air Force has not yet shot down.

We are talking about "Kinzhal" as an extremely dangerous missile, however, the Armed Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces can be proud of the number of downed missiles of this type. However, there are missiles that we have not yet managed to shoot down. In particular, X-22/32. This is a modified rocket with advanced electronics. This missile can hit at a greater distance. It seems that this is the type of missile that reached Cherkasy on December 29, he added.
