Russian army uses 6 different missile types in massive January 15 attack on Ukraine - military expert Zgurets

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

Serhiy Zgurets emphasized that a massive attack involved various types of offensive weapons, including Kh-101 missiles launched from Tu-95 bombers, Kalibr missiles from naval platforms, Iskanders, and Kh-59 and Kh-69 cruise missiles. In total, six different types of missiles were used.

According to Zgurets, the director of the media and consulting company Defense Express, some of the missiles targeted Kyiv, while others were directed at western Ukraine. Preliminary assessments suggest that Russia aimed to strike energy infrastructure, taking advantage of the recent drop in temperatures and changing weather conditions.

The military expert also noted that last year, the Russian army launched nearly 2,000 missiles. Peaks in missile usage occurred in January, March, and November. In January and March, 240–250 missiles were fired at Ukraine, while November saw a record 263 missiles launched.

"Now we’ll see how many missiles the Russians have stockpiled to continue focusing primarily on strikes against energy infrastructure. This is especially crucial during the winter period, which remains Russia’s main priority," Zgurets added.

• On the morning of January 15, the invading Russian army launched missiles across Ukraine. Critical infrastructure facilities in the Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions were damaged.
