US officials familiar with the matter told Archyde.com that the failure rate of some Russian precision-guided missiles used in the attack on Ukraine was 60 percent, according to a US assessment.
This may help explain why Russia has failed to achieve what the majority consider key objectives since it began its invasion of Ukraine a month ago, such as neutralizing Ukraine’s air force, despite the apparent strength of the Russian military vis-à-vis the much smaller Ukrainian armed forces.

US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, did not provide any evidence to support the assessment, nor did they say why the Russian missile failure rate was so high.
