Russia stockpiles Kalibres to strike again - Gumenyuk

Russia has started to use Kalibr-class sea-based missiles less during shelling. This is due to the fact that the aggressor country is stockpiling them for massive attacks in autumn and winter. This was stated by the head of the press centre of the Southern Defence Forces Natalia Humenyuk on the air of the telethon.

She noted that the enemy is likely to hit critical infrastructure facilities and warned that the enemy will not abandon its plans to attack. Therefore, one should not expect that the enemy will not use these missiles for shelling.

The head of the press centre reminded that the Russians have an air advantage and a stockpile of missiles that they are trying to update. According to Humenyuk, sanctions do not work in terms of absolutely blocking Russian weapons production.

The enemy has demonstrated if you hold out for a pause, you are able to accumulate a certain number of missiles.... It is quite obvious that they continue to accumulate sea-based missiles as well," Gumenyuk stressed.

She added that Ukraine has already experienced a lot, so it is now prepared and knows a lot about these attacks, and therefore the probable shelling of critical infrastructure will no longer come as a surprise to Ukrainian troops.

Earlier, experts pointed out that the production of Kalibr sea-based cruise missiles in Russia can be estimated at an average of 1-1.5 missiles per day. That is 30-40 Kalibrs per month.
