The Russian military is building up its stockpile of cruise missiles that could be used to attack Ukraine's critical infrastructure in the winter.

russia is probably trying to accumulate cruise missiles for another attack on the energy infrastructure in the winter, by shelling Ukraine mainly with drones. This was stated by the British Ministry of Defense, UNN reports.

russia has now refrained from launching its main air-launched cruise missiles from its fleet of heavy bombers for almost two months, which has likely allowed it to build up a significant stockpile of these weapons. Russia is likely to use these missiles if it repeats last year's attempts to destroy Ukraine's critical national infrastructure

- the intelligence report says.

The agency recalled that on the night of November 18-19, russia attacked Ukraine with kamikaze drones, which flew mainly in the direction of Kyiv. British intelligence believes that in this way the russians were trying to weaken Ukraine's air defense on the eve of massive missile attacks on energy infrastructure. 

To recap,

According to the spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force Command, Yuriy Ignat, russia's stockpile of precision-guided missiles does not exceed 800-850, and last winter russia used 1,000 missiles to attack Ukraine, 750 of which were shot down.
