Deputy head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Intelligence Directorate, Skibitsky, stated that Russia plans to produce 120,000 glide-guided bombs by the end of the year, of which 500 are new types with a longer range.
Skibitsky also said that the Russian military currently drops approximately 200 to 250 glide-guided bombs on the battlefield each day. In October, the Russian military dropped about 170 glide-guided bombs per day.
The information provided by Skibitsky regarding the Russian military's bombing is roughly consistent with what the Russian side has stated, which also indicates that the number of bombs being dropped by the Russian military is increasing. For the Ukrainian military, this is not good news, meaning that they are increasingly being bombed.
If, as Skibitsky said, the Russian military can produce 120,000 glide-guided bombs by the end of this year, more than half will be used for reserves. Because in the first nine months of this year, the Russian military averaged about 4,000 glide-guided bombs dropped per month, and in October, the number was 5,328. Assuming that the number of bombs dropped in November and December is also over 5,000, the total number of bombs dropped throughout the year would only be slightly over 50,000. Therefore, the remaining more than 60,000 unused bombs must be used for reserves. This also means that the Russian military does not lack glide-guided bombs, and the reserves are most likely to be used to counter the military threat from NATO.
