Russia can launch up to 100 ballistic missiles against Ukraine each month while maintaining stable stockpiles, according to an assessment by Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR). In a response to a request from Ukrainska Pravda published on Thursday, June 4, HUR said Russia’s military-industrial complex plans to produce around 700 9M723 ballistic missiles for the Iskander tactical missile system in 2026 – the same level as last year.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. According to the agency, Russia is currently producing between 55 and 60 Iskander ballistic missiles per month. “Given these production rates, the enemy can use up to 100 ballistic missiles per month against targets on the territory of Ukraine while maintaining a stable level of reserves,” HUR said. Russia expanding missile production Military intelligence also reported a sharp increase in the production of RM-48U missiles used by S-300PM and S-400 air defense systems, which Russia has increasingly employed in ground attacks against Ukrainian targets. According to HUR, Russia plans to manufacture more than 480 of these missiles in 2026, compared with just over 200 in 2025. Current production rates are estimated at up to 50 missiles per month. Russia also plans to produce up to 60 Kinzhal hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles this year, according to the intelligence assessment. The figures suggest Moscow is continuing to expand its missile production capacity despite Western sanctions and efforts to restrict access to critical components.
