Russia to boost production of Kinzhal, Iskander ballistic missiles - Ukrainian intel
Russia plans to increase the production of air-launched Kinzhal missiles and ballistic missiles for the Iskander operational-tactical missile systems in 2025
Deputy Head of theUkraine's Main Intelligence Directorate, Major General Vadym Skibitskyi, said this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.
According to him, Russia has not significantly increased missile production compared to 2024. However, they have started producing more Kh-101 cruise missiles, which they use to strike Ukraine.
"They started producing more Kh-101 cruise missiles but fewer for the Kalibr system, having assessed where the greater efficiency lies. Russia also plans to increase the production of Kinzhals and ballistic missiles for Iskander — the very weapons that have proven more effective," Skibitskyi noted.
The deputy head also added that the increase in Russian missile production compared to 2024 is no more than 1.2 times, and in some cases, up to 1.5 times, specifically for high-precision missile weapons.
- Russia is currently working to establish the conditions necessary to launch around 500 UAVs across Ukraine simultaneously.
