Russians produce about 115-130 strategic missiles and 100-115 missiles of operational-tactical class per month - DIU
The Russians failed to significantly increase the production of missiles of various classes. But the figures may vary from month to month.
Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Vadym Skibitskyi said this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, Censor.NET reports.
"The level of production depends on capacity utilization, on components, because a lot of parts for the X-101, "Kinzhal", "Kalibr" are foreign-made.
Russia has lost a lot precisely because its companies that supplied components are under international sanctions. And it cannot cover its own needs with its own analogs. Again, for example, in December, they did not produce some types of missiles at all - there was a zero rate, both planned and actual," the report says.
The deputy head of the DIU noted that the invaders are trying to keep a certain strategic reserve - about 30% of the reserves that they have.
"A striking example is that since mid-September, the Russians have not used either the X-101 or the "Kalibr". There was an accumulation of these missiles. Moreover, we clearly understand that everything produced is immediately delivered to the battlefield. As for the cruise missiles produced, during the attacks, products of the third and fourth quarters of production were recorded. This once again indicates that their stocks are not very large, and what is produced is immediately used against our state," the DIU representative added.
At the same time, Skibitskyi noted that the X-31, X-35, X-29, and X-59 missiles are made mostly from Russian components. These are guided aircraft missiles, which are primarily aimed at air defense systems and radar stations.
"If we assess the production, it depends on the type of missile. Unfortunately, they have the ability to produce 100-115 missiles of this particular operational and tactical class (such as X-31, X-59, etc.)," Skibitskyi added.
