Russian Missile Command: The game where 60 percent of your missiles don't work
One of the limitations that Russia has faced in its effort to subdue Ukraine is that it is exhausting its supply of precision-guided munitions. It's easy to target something like a military training facility, but without precision munitions it's much harder to actually hit what you're aiming for. The result is that a lot of intended targets are missed and a lot of unintended targets are hit.
But there's another problem, too, one that Reuters identified this week: A lot of Russia's missiles simply don't work.
"Three U.S. officials said the United States estimated that Russia's failure rate varied day-to-day, depended on the type of missile being launched, and could sometimes exceed 50%," Phil Stewart reported for the wire service. "Two of them said it reached as high as 60%." The errors included everything from failures at launch to failures to detonate.
