Russian forces are starting to have “stocking problems with precision-guided munitions,” a senior US defense official told reporters on Monday.
Precision-guided munitions refer to missiles that aim at a specific location, as opposed to “dumb bombs”, which lack the technology to focus on a specific target.
Inventory issues around the supply of precision-guided munitions are why “you are seeing increasing use of what we would call dumb bombs,” the official added.
Some of its precision-guided munitions “do not launch, or do not hit the target, or do not explode on contact,” the official said.
They used “quite a lot” of their “cruise missile, air-launch missile” supplies and saw a “significant number of failures” of these munitions, the official said.
CNN previously reported that Russia relied far more on less sophisticated so-called “dumb” bombs than on its arsenal of precision-guided munitions in its punitive war against Ukraine.
