More than 2,000 old Kh-55 and Kh-22 missiles are at the disposal of the Russian troops. They may last for several months..

According to Forbes, before the start of the war, Russia had about 7,000 short- and medium-range missiles (up to 5,500 kilometers).. At the same time, more than half of them are Soviet Kh-22, Kh-55 missiles, which are not high-precision.

Forbes notes that during the first stage of the war, the Russians used modern Kalibr-type sea-launched missiles and Iskander missile systems to attack. Also, the occupiers fired Kh-101 and Kh-47 " In total, the stock of such weapons was not very large - 2000-3000 units. And they've already begun to run out.

The publication adds that later the Russians began to use older missiles..

Information about the first use appeared back in May, when Soviet Kh-59 missiles were fired across Ukraine. They are highly accurate, but have a short range - 300 kilometers and cannot cause great damage..

At the same time, the older version of the Kh-55 missiles and the Kh-555 modification operate at a greater distance.. But they are not accurate.. The circular deviation for them is 20-100 meters. Identical situation with Kh-22 missiles. They are very destructive and were designed to deliver nuclear strikes, but have very low accuracy rates..
