Russia's stockpile of cruise missiles dwindles.



This was reported by Defence Express

Instead of the ballistic warhead in this missile, there was a block that acted as a nuclear warhead simulator. Simply put - for this strike the orcs took at least one X-55 from their "nuclear arsenal", "unscrewed" the nuclear warhead from this missile and replaced it with an empty "dummy", and shot at Ukraine that way

There could be several reasons for such use of missiles: those involved in the mass shelling of Ukraine did so in order to carry out another order "from above". Therefore, they also used X-55s with a simulated nuclear warhead.

Experts believe that this indicates that the stock of cruise missiles in Russia is running out at the critical point for the Kremlin. Since missiles from the "nuclear arsenal" have been used.

Also the Defense Express edition, citing its own sources, reports that during the attack of November 15, 2022, the Kh-101 missile made by the Rashists in the 3rd quarter of this year was shot down. Though the following logic usually works: older missiles are shot down first, newer ones are used next.
