Budanov*: Iskanders and bombs are a real problem

Russian guided bombs and Iskander missiles pose a serious problem for Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, said at a press conference in Kiev.

"And this is a very big problem for the front line ... our soldiers suffer the most on and near the contact line," Budanov❶ quotes Bloomberg.

He also noted that the production of these types of weapons has increased.

The head of the GUR called the supply of North Korean ammunition to Russia another "serious headache" for the defense of Ukraine. The United States and South Korea have repeatedly accused the DPRK of sending military aid to Russia for use on Ukraine: The US White House stated that Moscow received from Pyongyang's ballistic missiles, and the South Korean Ministry of Defense reported that North Korea sent in Russia has several thousand containers with ammunition and military equipment.

In early January, the general director of the Novator Design Bureau, which is engaged in the production of Iskander missiles, announced the growth of the state defense order for these products and the expansion of the enterprise's capacity.
