Ukraine’s drone systems commander says Russia is preparing to increase the number of ballistic missiles it can fire simultaneously, potentially raising the scale of a single attack from about 77 missiles to around 200. The warning is framed as part of a broader shift in Russia’s missile launch capability.
The reports cite the commander’s assessment that Ukraine should target facilities involved in producing or supporting the missiles to reduce the threat. Euronews adds additional operational context, saying the assessment supports efforts to disrupt missile production and to “choke off” Crimea as a military base. Kyiv Post focuses more directly on the need to strike production-linked infrastructure to limit the risk from a large, coordinated missile salvo.
Both outlets attribute the claims to Ukraine officials and present them as estimates of future capability rather than as an account of an attack that has already occurred. Neither report provides independent confirmation or specific evidence for the figures cited.
