Russia has modernized the X-22 and "Onyx" missiles and has also resumed the use of "Bastion" complexes, reported by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Vadym Skibitskyi, in an interview with the TV channel "We Are Ukraine."

"We are well aware that certain types of missiles have undergone modernization. For example, the X-22 has essentially become the X-32 after the upgrade," he said.

Moreover, according to Skibitskyi, the Main Intelligence Directorate possesses information about the plans and measures taken by the Russian Federation to modernize the "Onyx" missiles.

He also mentioned that after the modernization, the Russians have resumed using the "Bal" and "Bastion" complexes, which are used against civilian targets.
