Russia has accumulated at least 500 'Oniks' and 120 X-101/555 missiles - Kovalenko.


Ukraine has received information about the increase in the number of Russian Armed Forces missiles in Donbas. In particular, military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko reported that Russia has already accumulated 120 units of X-101/555 missiles, which are enough for several massive attacks. Additionally, the increase in missile production confirms the presence of 'Kalibr' missile armament and Iskander-M/KN-23 cruise missiles.
Kovalenko also noted that the quantitative indicator of ballistic missile launches has decreased compared to the previous month. This may be related to the increased cost of missiles and the choice of cheaper alternative means, such as 'Shahed' and decoy drones.
One of the most dangerous weapon systems for Ukraine is the P-800 'Oniks' missiles, capable of overcoming missile defense systems. The enemy managed to accumulate at least 500 units of these missiles during an extended pause. Moreover, modernization has taken place, providing the missiles with greater accuracy and resistance to defense complexes.
This poses a serious threat to Ukraine, as the capability to intercept 'Oniks' missiles lies only with the 'Patriot' and SAMP/T air defense systems.
