Russia’s long-range strike arsenal—its Kalibrs, Iskanders, Kinzhals, and Zircons—has come to define the war it wages against Ukraine. But for the first time, leaked procurement records obtained and analyzed by the Ukrainian defense outlet Militarnyi shed light on what these weapons really cost—and how many are still being built.

“If swarms of Shaheds are heading toward France, Sweden, the Baltic States—what do we do?” As Russia’s drones batter Ukraine’s skies, experts warn that Europe’s air defenses may be unprepared for such mass drone and missile attacks. 

Kyiv was hit by Russia’s biggest airstrike in months, a barrage that killed 18 people, wounded many more, and left homes and schools in ruins. Emergency teams continue to search for survivors.
