Up to 285 calibers are ready for launch. Why the Russian Federation returns to sea blows in Ukraine

The head of the GUR Kirill Budanov predicts that the Russians will return to the caliber missiles that have not been used for a long time. Defense Express experts try to understand how many of these missiles the enemy has accumulated. On the broadcast of the Telelorphone, the head of GUR MOU Kirill Budanov said that the Russians are probably applied in the near future by winged rockets of marine base "caliber" for blows in Ukraine, because the enemy has accumulated such KR for a long time.

Literally, Budanov said the following - "calibers have accumulated all this period. They are absolutely ready for use. " And also-"in the near future, I think we will see" calibers "again, because the number of X-101 has decreased significantly . . . There are normative legal acts, documents, decisions. The enemy had to renew the stock of fleet missiles, because they are much at that time declined. They have completed this task. That is, they are technically ready for their use now.

While the fleet has accumulated their missiles, the Russian air and space forces used X-101 ". Such a message may look somewhat disconnecting on the background of the fact that earlier the question of the possible use of "calibers" for strikes in Ukraine was not on the agenda.

Well, as well as comments that almost all rocket launchers (except for only one corvette "Cyclone") were transferred from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk from Sevastopol, and there is no technical opportunity to load winged rockets on frigates, corvets and submarines. Against this background, the question of what number of winged maritime base missiles (KRMB) "Caliber" could have accumulated Russian invaders.

To find the answer to this question, we can rely on data on the number of missiles in the Russian Federation as of November 2023, which was then declared by the representative of the same GUR MOU Vadim Skibitsky. At that time, it was said that in November last year, according to our intelligence, the Russians had an accumulated stock of 165 CRMB "Caliber". If we consider the data known at the time, the pace of production of "calibers" could range from 20 to 35 units per month.

Based on this, and also from the fact that in four months later, the racists almost did not use "calibra" for shelling in Ukraine, then it may be that the stock of CR of this type could grow in the range of +80 units to +80 units 120 units, or to the range from 245 units to 285 units. For comparison, it is only 160 winged air base missiles to illustrate the types X-101/555/55 in the same 2023, that is than the number of "calibers".

In addition, it is worth considering the next point-if you rely on official air force reports, then from March 21 to March 31, 2024, Russian invaders fired in Ukraine in total 133 winged air base missiles X-101/555/55. Against this background, it is a logical assessment that, as the existing supply of winged air base missiles, Russians can "unpack" the stock of "calibers". But at the same time, the same X-101 racists can continue to rely on struck by our critical infrastructure.
