The aggressor country russia plans to produce at least 120,000 guided aerial bombs, which the occupiers' army has been actively using for the last two years to strike at the front line and in the rear.
Reuters writes about this with reference to the Deputy Chief of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vadym Skibitskyi.
Skibitskyi did not say where he got the figure from, nor did he provide earlier data. Reuters was also unable to confirm the goal of producing 120,000 bombs by 2025, as the Defense Intelligence representative stated. However, his words could mean a significant increase in bomb production.
The deputy chief of the Defense Intelligence also said that the occupiers launch 200 to 250 KABs daily at the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and frontline settlements.
"They can be shot down, but the number of these aircraft bombs produced in the Russian Federation is huge. This is a threat. A threat that will require an adequate response from us," Skibitskyi said.
He also said that the russian federation is launching mass production of a new type of missile capable of flying up to 200 kilometers from the launch point to the target. The russians plan to produce about 500 such bombs by the end of the year.
Ukrainian intelligence also believes that the russians are working on a modification of the KAB, which will be able to hit targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers. This will allow the occupiers to strike even more cities.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in late October, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine said that the russians completed testing of guided air bombs capable of flying up to 200 kilometers.
