Ukraine’s military intelligence is observing a change in the tactics the aggressor country applies to the use of missiles.

That’s according to Andrii Chernyak, a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, who spoke with RBC-Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

"First, they really learn from their mistakes. Second, they run out not only of high-precision missiles, but of missile weapons in general," Cherniak said.

According to the official, "the Russian Federation still has thousands of missiles in stock, but they are running out of them much faster than they are able to produce."

"In a month, they can now produce no more than 30-40 missiles. The old missiles they have in service either fail due to a malfunction or have a limited strike range," explained the GUR official.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Air Force Commander, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk, said Ukraine’s Defense Forces had destroyed more than 650 Russian cruise missiles and 610 Iranian-made drones since September.
