Russia has probably paused its missile manufacturing process. This could explain why it has recently used fewer of them to strike Ukraine

After all, while the occupying Russian forces used to launch about 100 missiles at our cities during massive attacks, now they launch only 10-20. Spokesperson for the Main Intelligence Directorate Andriy Yusov said this in an interview with Islnd TV.

"If I'm not mistaken, 120 missiles were launched at the same time. What they produce in a month, we see a pause, and they immediately use everything in Ukraine," he said.

According to Yusov, Russia is currently unable to restore the missile stockpile it had before the February 24, 2022, invasion.

At the same time, Yusov emphasized that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, not a single target of Russian missile terror has been achieved.

"Yes, we still have a problem - Ukraine is a large country, and we still do not have enough air and missile defense capabilities. But this missile terror did not accomplish any of its goals either in the winter or now," emphasized Andriy Yusov.
