As Moscow continues large-scale missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, a new report suggests Russia could be relying not only on newly produced weapons but also on over 10,000 Soviet-era missiles kept in storage for decades. In this video, we take a closer look at Russia's older air-to-air missiles, such as the R-27, R-73, and R-60, which were developed during the Cold War era. While replaced by newer systems, some of these weapons may still have battlefield value, especially against slower targets like drones. Cary Johnston brings you all the details on Firstpost America.
