Reply to comment by demalteb in Russia fires 100 missiles from air and sea - Ukraine by RandomForks

Logistics; the days of the Soviet Union cranking out hundreds of tanks a day is long gone. It takes a long time to build enough of their newer cruise missiles for another concentrated wave.

The old Soviet era stuff likewise needs to be taken out of storage and repaired/refurbished before being sent to a launch site

Each wave of attacks is more like the yearly production of these missiles. Sure there are some new-builts mixed in there, but they are mostly still from stocks of them.

And that's the yearly production during relative peace times.

Their stockpile of supplies to make them are running out too.
