On October 23, 2026, the head of the communications department of the Ukrainian Air Force Command, Yuriy Ihnat, stated that if Russia maintains its current pace of missile attacks, the number of missiles launched on ballistic trajectories could exceed 300 within a month.
Potential Consequences of Increased Attacks
According to the information provided by Ihnat, such an increase in missile quantity could significantly impact the situation in the region. He emphasized that this could lead to heightened threats to the civilian population and infrastructure of Ukraine.
Limitations of Russia's Resources
Despite the possibility of increasing the intensity of attacks, Yuriy Ihnat expressed doubts about Russia's ability to sustain such a pace over an extended period. He noted that Russia's missile stocks are not unlimited, and over time this could lead to a decrease in the intensity of attacks.
- Currently, Russia is launching over 300 missiles per month.
- Missile stocks may be depleted, complicating the continuation of attacks.
