The US Department of Defense notes that the majority of the arsenal for missile strikes are Russians not used yet.
Russia has already launched more than 1,200 missiles at facilities in Ukraine, but the Pentagon believes that the vast majority of the arsenal of surface-to-air missiles and cruise missiles is still at the disposal of the Russian armed forces.
This is with reference to the briefing a senior US Department of Defense official on Wednesday, March 23, according to the American channel ABC News.
Despite the fact that the Russian military has spent a large number of missiles prepared for operations in Ukraine, the official noted that they still have a lot.
A senior officer said the Russian military “has the least use of air-launched cruise missiles” but still has “more than 50% of what they collected before the invasion.” “They still have a large number of ground-launched cruise missiles, short-range ballistic missiles and medium-range ballistic missiles,” he said.
Separately, a US Department of Defense spokesman said that Ukraine would receive new batches of weapons that they use “very effectively”. Previously, he used similar words to characterize Javelins and Stingers.
“We are already stockpiling in the United States and preparing to send them there,” the official said.
The shipment is part of a new arms shipment worth $800 million, which US President Joe Biden announced last week, after the President of Ukraine appealed to American lawmakers.
Recall that Ukraine received 50 ambulances from international partners, which are part of humanitarian assistance from EU countries.
