Kh-59 missile strikes on Ukraine
During the strikes on Ukraine, as the former spokesperson for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yurii Ihnat, said back in July 2022, Russia has already used all types of missile weapons.
Moreover, according to recent reports, Russian troops have begun to use Kh-59/Kh-69 missiles more often when shelling Ukraine. In particular, the Kh-69 is a modified version of the Kh-59 missile with a longer range and more power.
Yesterday, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that in April 2024 alone, the Russian troops used more than 300 missiles of various types, almost 300 Shaheds, and more than 3,200 guided aerial bombs during their attacks.
