As of July 18, Russia has already launched about three thousand missiles of various types over Ukraine.
This is reported by the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
These are cruise missiles, aviation missiles of the air-to-surface class, operational-tactical complexes (Point-U, Iskander), and Onyx missiles of the Bastion coastal complex.
In addition, Russia is increasingly using old Soviet missiles, such as Kh-59, Kh-22, Kh-31 and others, on positions of the Ukrainian army and civilian objects. Also, in recent weeks, the Russian army began to hit ground targets with anti-aircraft missiles from the S-300 complex, the main purpose of which is to destroy air targets.
- At the beginning of July, Forbes wrote that the Russian Federation had more than 2,000 old Kh-55 and Kh-22 missiles, which could be enough for several more months of bombing. The publication also calculated the cost of the launches — the strikes on June 25-26, when 60 to 80 missiles were launched over Ukraine, cost the Russian Federation $220 million.
