Russia fires cruise missiles with nuclear warhead simulator at UkraineOne of the two cruise missiles shot down over Kyiv on 17 November was equipped with a simulator of a nuclear warhead, writes Defense Express.According to experts, the fact that the Kh-55 missile from the "nuclear arsenal" was used indicates that the stock of cruise missiles in Russia is running out and reaching a critical level for the Kremlin.Otherwise, the Russians deliberately used the Kh-55 with an "empty" simulator of a nuclear warhead to create the effect of overloading the air defence of Ukraine, the outlet adds.At the beginning of the war, the Russians used "consumables" to "overload" Ukraine’s air defence, for example, Soviet Tupolev Tu-243 drones rather than scarce missiles.Defense Express’s confidential sources stated that during the attack on 15 November 2022, a Russian Kh-101 was shot down, which was manufactured in the third quarter of this year."
