Russia wants to manufacture 120 Banderol missiles a month, but has not yet reached its planned production target. The missile has a declared range of 500 km, although Ukrainian forces have recorded strikes at distances of only around 300 km.

Details: Beskrestnov said that if Russia succeeds in increasing missile production to the planned level, it could launch four missiles a day. The Banderol is launched from the Orion UAV, but because of its size and the risk of the drone being shot down over the front line, launches are carried out far from the line of contact.
