Russia will have about 800 precision missiles in the last eight months, according to Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat, speaking to Ukrainian radio NV. “Two and a half months ago, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian army provided us with information about 600 missiles, which indicates that Russia has a production capacity of about 100 missiles per month,” the official said.
Two months later, the current number has reached 800 missiles and more. It is worth noting that these two months witnessed a low intensity in the use of missiles. During this period, Kalir and Iskander-K missiles were deployed, but Kh-101 and Kh-55 missiles were noticeably absent,” Ahnat said, recalling that in 2022 Russia launched about a thousand cruise missiles at Ukraine. Last year, Russian forces hit many of Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure hard in the winter.
“[Os russos] They had a much larger sum last year than they have now. This does not apply to S-300 missiles, aviation missiles (Kh-59, Kh-32), Onyx, etc. He stressed that this applies to the missiles we are currently discussing.
Andrei Yusov, a representative of HUR, confirmed in early September that the Russian occupiers were producing dozens of cruise missiles every month, including the Kalibr missile and a smaller number of Iskander missiles.
According to the American publication “The New York Times”, Russia has been able to adapt to Western sanctions and export controls and is now able to manufacture more missiles than it was before the large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
