Russia has hammered Ukraine with air strikes, upping the intensity of its missile campaigns since December 29.
The recent pause of Russian missile attacks on Ukraine was because it was stockpiling its missiles for large-scale strikes, not because its arsenal was running low.
Russia targeted Kyiv with a Kh-101 cruise missile produced in the last quarter of 2023 (October–December), the Defense Express portal said on Jan. 2, citing sources and accompanying photos.
The provocation could have been deliberate.
Kh-101 missiles with built-in countermeasures emerged earlier this year, but this is the first time this capability has been seen in use.
