Serhiy Zgurets, director of Defense Express, highlighted that missile fragments from recent attacks indicate production in the first quarter of 2024, suggesting Russia’s need to accumulate a stockpile before resuming attacks

He shared these observations on Espreso TV.

"Over three consecutive days, we witnessed nightly missile assaults from Russia, totaling 150 missiles of various types. Among them, 98 were Kh-101, and approximately 20 were Kinzhal and Iskander ballistic missiles. These strikes targeted our energy infrastructure, notably in Kharkiv and Odesa," noted Serhiy Zgurets.

He expressed hope that such strikes wouldn't continue in the near future, as the enemy would need time to replenish their missile stockpiles.

"The enemy has been building their arsenal for nearly a month, with an estimated production rate of about 100 Kh-101 missiles per month. Analysis of missile fragments confirms production in the first quarter of 2024. This indicates the recent use of freshly manufactured missiles by the enemy. While attacks may resume, we anticipate a pause after this period," summarized Zgurets.

  • On March 22, Ukrainian air defense intercepted 92 of 151 enemy targets during a Russian army attack
  • The following day, March 23, saw the launch of attack UAVs and cruise missiles, causing shrapnel damage in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, as well as an attack on critical infrastructure in the Lviv region. 
  • On March 24, Ukrainian air defense destroyed 43 enemy air targets during further attacks.
