The Russian military is taking a “missile pause” after powerful attacks in recent weeks, the Ukrainian military says. Moscow is using this respite to continue preparing large-scale attacks, reports dpa, founded by Agerpres.

A representative of Ukrainian military intelligence, Vadym Skibyzky, said that the Russian military is currently checking which targets need to be attacked and assessing the consequences of previous attacks. In addition, new missiles are being prepared for deployment, and this will take time, Skibyzky said.

According to him, because Russia has used so many of its missiles in combat, Soviet-era missiles are being removed from storage and restored. According to him, many of these old weapons either missed the target or exploded en route without hitting the target.

But Russia also uses modern missiles from its strategic arsenal. “From the wreckage and debris, we can tell that the rockets were built in this year.” “That means they go straight from the assembly line to the battlefield,” Skibyzky said.

Although production has fallen significantly from pre-war levels, Russia is still building enough cruise missiles and weapons to use against Ukraine to circumvent sanctions, a Ukrainian military official said.
