Ukraine's General Staff says Russia plans to manufacture Kh-50 missiles to renew attacks on Ukraine
pravda: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has reported that Russia is planning to start manufacturing Kh-50 air-to-surface strategic cruise missiles in order to resume attacks on Ukraine in autumn.
Brigadier General Oleksiy Khromov, Deputy Head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said during a press briefing.
"According to the information available, the Russian Federation is planning to start manufacturing Kh-50 air-to-surface strategic cruise missiles in June of this year, which will allow the Kremlin to resume missile strikes on the territory of our country in autumn.
Russia has expended at least 50% of its long-range anti-aircraft missile stockpile since February 2022, having used at least 8,000 of these missiles, the majority of which were surface-to-surface missiles.
Given the current levels of production, Russia will not be able to replenish its reserves in the medium term. This potentially undermines Moscow’s ability to defend its strategic interests in the Far East and near its borders with NATO countries."
