Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense says Russia has almost 300 Kh-101 cruise missiles. These missiles can travel up to 5,500 kilometers and are very accurate.
Russia uses these missiles to attack Ukraine’s residential areas and energy infrastructure. The goal is to make it hard for civilians to live during the winter months.

Andrii Yusov, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s military intelligence, says Russia can still produce many Kh-101 cruise missiles. In fact, he estimates that Russia can make 40-50 of these missiles every month.
