Summary
Ukraine’s military intelligence said Russia still has deep missile stocks, including more than 600 Oniks, 450 Kalibr, 120 Zircon and up to 100 Kh-101 missiles as of early August.
More than 200 cruise and ballistic missiles can be produced each month, HUR said, with Russia shifting its defense industry toward mass-produced systems despite ongoing strikes on Ukraine.
July output underscored that pace: Russia produced 65 Iskander-M 9M723 missiles against a 60-missile plan and built 87 Kh-101 cruise missiles, according to the assessment.
HUR also estimated Russia holds about 130 Iskander-M missiles with its military grouping, roughly 400 S-400 RM-48U missiles, and around 50 each of Kinzhal and North Korean KN-series ballistic missiles.
The figures suggest Moscow is replenishing key weapons quickly, while earlier procurement documents indicated Russian defense firms were bypassing sanctions through front companies and rebranded foreign machinery.
