Russia is launching newly manufactured missiles at Ukraine, which may suggest a rapid depletion of its pre-war stockpiles, according to The New York Times.

Analysts from the British non-governmental organization Conflict Armament Research (CAR) examined the Kh-101 missile that struck the Ohmatdyt hospital on July 8 and determined it was produced between April 1 and June 30, 2024.

"This indicates that Russian forces are using these weapons as soon as they come off the assembly line," the article states. It also highlights that Russia continues to produce advanced weapons despite Western sanctions aimed at slowing down its production.

Since November 2022, analysts have studied fragments of 12 Kh-101 cruise missiles and found that most were launched within about two months of production. This, they believe, suggests that the Russian military has quickly exhausted its pre-war reserves.

"Failure of the system." Russian elites perceived the invasion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a blow to Putin's reputation

The breakthrough of Ukrainian military units into the Kursk region and their advance over the course of four days left high-ranking government officials and businessmen close to the Kremlin in a state of shock. At the same time, just recently, representatives of the bureaucratic and business elite were talking about Vladimir Putin organizing military operations in neighboring NATO countries and capturing cities like Narva, Estonia.

"This is a very big blow to the reputation of the Russian authorities, the military, and Putin. Because for two and a half years, Russian territory, with the exception of the occupied territories [in Ukraine], suffered minimal damage. It was only from drones," a major Russian businessman told The Washington Post. — And now it is unclear how many victims there were, there is destruction, and it is obvious that they [the authorities, the military] are not able to stop it quickly.” This is indeed a blow, since it is clear that the leadership received a signal from intelligence, but “measures were not taken,” says political scientist Sergei Markov, close to the Kremlin: “This is a failure of the entire intelligence system, and since Putin is responsible for this, it is clear that this is a blow to Putin.”
