A representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov disclosed current details about the production state of long-range weapons in russia and its stockpiles. He reported this in an interview with Novyny.LIVE.
According to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, russians have managed to stockpile approximately more than 1,400 long-range missiles. Yusov emphasizes that a number of items have a so-called emergency stockpile, and with this in mind, the enemy is much better at planning missile attacks and conducting reconnaissance compared to 2022.

According to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, russians have stockpiled 500 Oniks missiles, over 400 Kh-101/Kh-55/Kh-35 cruise missiles, and approximately 350 Kalibr cruise missiles. russians also have approximately 130 Iskander and 50 Kinzhal ballistic missiles.
For comparison, in November 2023, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reported of 870 long-range missiles, but the list did not include Oniks missiles. At the same time, even if we consider that the number of Oniks missiles has remained unchanged over the year, the total still amounts to approximately 1,370 missiles, which is slightly fewer than the current number.
As for the production rate of long-range weapons by the enemy, Yusov cites the following data:
- 40-50 Iskander missiles per month;
- 30-50 Kalibr missiles;
- 50 Kh-101 missiles.
For comparison, as of April this year, it was reported that 40 Kh-101 cruise missiles were being produced per month. By July, production increased to 50 missiles per month, and this figure has remained unchanged since then.
Speaking about the Kalibr cruise missiles, as of April, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine gave a figure of 30 missiles. It seems that the russian federation could increase the production rate of these missiles with varying success in certain months.
Earlier, Defense Express reported that the russian Aerospace Forces received up to 24 new aircraft in 2024, but at the same time, they lost 23.
