Russia using 'inaccurate' air-launch anti-ship missiles – UK intel

According to Ukrinform, the UK Ministry of Defense said this in its latest intelligence update published on Twitter.

The ministry said that analysis of CCTV footage shows the missile that impacted the Kremenchuk shopping center on June 27 was highly likely a Kh-32, "an upgraded version of the Soviet era Kh-22 KITCHEN."

"Although the Kh-32 has several performance improvements over the Kh-22, it is still not optimized to accurately strike ground targets, especially in an urban environment. This greatly increases the likelihood of collateral damage when targeting built up areas," the ministry said.

According to the report, further strikes on June 30 in the Odesa region likely involved Kh-22 KITCHEN missiles. "These weapons are even less accurate and unsuitable for precision strikes and have almost certainly repeatedly caused civilian casualties in recent weeks," the report said.

The ministry also said that Russian forces continue to achieve minor advances around Lysychansk, with air and artillery strikes continuing in the district. "Ukrainian forces probably continue to block Russian forces in the south-eastern outskirts of Lysychansk," the statement said.
