Russia has recently limited its use of precision rocket systems throughout its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, according to the U.K.’s Ministry of Defense, suggesting that the country’s stockpile is dwindling.
Russia rationing its use of such weapons could suggest that its stockpile is dwindling and that Western sanctions may have hamstrung its ability to produce more.
"Russia is likely resorting to such inefficient weapon systems because it is running short of more precise modern missiles," the U.K.'s Defense Ministry said in an analysis on Saturday.that "the aggressor continues to launch high-precision missile strikes in the depths of our territory," estimating that Russia was firing an average of 10-14 ballistic and cruise missiles per day around that time.
