Russia capable of producing over 200 ballistic, cruise missiles monthly – Defense Intelligence

The Main Intelligence Agency (GUR) of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has revealed that Russia is currently capable of producing over 600 Oniks missiles. This count also includes 450 Kalibrs, 120 Zircons, and about 130 missiles for Iskander-M systems. Additionally, Russia has 400 RM-48U missiles for S-400 systems and up to 100 Kh-101 missiles.

Recent figures indicate that Russia had approximately 50 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles and an equivalent number of North Korean ballistic missiles (KN-23, KN-24, and KN-30) as of July. The defense-industrial complex of Russia is reportedly shifting its focus towards mass missile systems, with priority given to the Iskander-M complex, Kh-101, and Kalibr missiles.

The GUR emphasizes that Russia maintains a high production rate, sometimes surpassing planned targets. In July, Russia exceeded its planned monthly production of 60 9M723 missiles for Iskander-M systems, manufacturing 65 instead. Furthermore, the country produced 87 Kh-101 cruise missiles in July alone. The military-industrial complex of Russia aims to produce over 480 such missiles throughout 2026, which is more than double the production goal set for 2025.
