Ukrainian Air Force on claim that "Russia will never run out of Kalibr cruise missiles": Russians are having the wool pulled over their eyes

Effective control over compliance with the sanctions imposed on Russia will prevent the aggressor country from producing Kalibr cruise missiles and other weapons.

Quote: "This is pulling the wool over the eyes of their own audience. That’s understandable. They’re not going to say that the West and the Ukrainian media are counting Kalibrs: enough for another three strikes, or another two... They have to tell their electorate that they will be producing Kalibrs to the end of their days.

And what about production - is it keeping pace, could something happen to that production? Could the sanctions (the 9th package now) stop not only the Kalibrs, but also civil aviation and everything else, and their oil industry... of course they could.

The question is in controlling [the implementation of] the sanctions; if they really work, it will be the end of the aggressor country's economy."

Details: Ihnat noted that the production of missiles in Russia continues, but it is not keeping up with the pace of use, so the Russians are launching missiles at Ukraine more or less "straight off the assembly line".

Background: In response to Western reports that Russia has actually exhausted its stockpiles of high-precision weapons systems amidst the massive strike on Ukraine, Russia’s Defence Ministry claimed that the Russians "will never run out of Kalibr missiles".

According to ISW, Russia's campaign to break Ukraine's will to fight through massive missile attacks on critical infrastructure is failing.
