One batch of Iranian drones consists of 250-300 units.



The deputy head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, Vadym Skibitskyy, said this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

According to Skibitskyy, Russia may still have around 200 kamikaze drones, which the occupiers received at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year. On that basis, the Russians are saving their stockpiles.

According to our calculations, they still have a stock of those batches they received late last year and early this year. They probably still have about 200 units of "checkheads" left. But they are not using them as massively as before. This confirms that they do not have a large stockpile - they are saving.

According to the SMM one batch of "shaheda" consists of 250-300 units. In total, the Russians have already used about 800 Iranian drones to attack Ukrainian territory so far.

The russian stockpile of high-precision missiles has also been depleted: according to Skibitsky, it is 15% of what it was before the full-scale war began.

Stocks of Kalibrov, X-101 and X-555 are less than 10 percent.
