Russia has been able to accumulate more than 1,500 missiles with a range of more than 350 kilometers to fire at Ukraine, and their production rates are only growing. This is reported by the RBC-Ukraine agency with reference to its own data, reports Komersant ukrainskyi
According to the agency, despite the sanctions, the aggressor state has significantly increased the production of certain types of weapons over the past year. While a year ago, 115-130 strategic missiles were produced monthly, this number has now increased to about 170. The largest increase is observed in the production of Iskander ballistic missiles.
In November, Russia plans to produce about 70 Iskander-M missiles, and the stock of these missiles as of November 20 is 350 units. As for cruise missiles for Iskanders, Russia plans to produce 12 such missiles in November, with a stock of 210 units.
The production of X-101 missiles in November should reach 50 units, and their stock as of November 20 is estimated at 220 missiles. These missiles are now being launched not only from Tu-95s, but also from Tu-160s, which was rare before. For example, during the November 21 attack, Russia used several X-101s and Kinzhalas against Ukraine. Kalibr missiles have the largest stockpile of all types of missiles. As of November 20, Russia has about 390 of them, and the monthly production plan is 30 units.

As for the Daggers, there are about 70 units in stock, and they plan to produce 12 more in November. In addition, Russia has about 230 X-22 missiles in its warehouses, which are used with Tu-22M3. Although they are no longer being produced, about 10 of these missiles are being modernized every month to become X-32s. Also, according to RBC-Ukraine, Russia has about 45 North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles.
Thus, right now, according to the publication, Russia has 1,515 long-range missiles for attacks on Ukraine. Given that Russia fires about a hundred missiles in massive shelling, this number is enough for about 15 such attacks by Ukraine.
Another serious problem for Ukraine is the Russian-Iranian kamikaze drones. Since September, the aggressor has been launching dozens of these drones almost every night, attacking Ukrainian regions to deplete and reconnoiter air defense systems. According to the agency, the launched drones include not only Geraniums but also other models, such as Gerber, which are used in combined attacks. The production volumes of even one type, the “Shahedi-Geranium”, allow the enemy to maintain this rhythm of attacks. With the use of Iranian components, Russia plans to assemble about 900 such drones every month, which is three times more than last year.
