Russia’s Increasing Missile Stockpiles and the Potential Threat to Ukraine

According to the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Major General Vadim Skibitsky, we are talking about approximately 165 Calibers, approximately 160 Kh-101, Kh-555 and Kh-55 units with warheads, about 290 Iskander-M and Iskander-K units “, approximately 80 “Daggers”, as well as 150 Kh-22/Kh-32 missiles. The effective strike distance of the X-22 missile is 350 kilometers.

Skibitsky clarified that last year the figures were almost the same. This, he said, indicates that Russia managed to establish missile production and maintain it at a sufficient level to accumulate a stock of missiles.

“It is clear that the Russians cannot fully use their missiles either – they must keep at least 30% in their reserves. If they again release almost everything through our energy system and do not achieve results, then again someone will fly out of office,” – noted the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

At the same time, he emphasized that it will be difficult for the Russians to achieve results, because “we are also preparing and understand how they operate, what they are scouting and, accordingly, we are taking measures to protect our energy system.”

Missile stocks in the Russian Federation

In September, The New York Times reported that Russia had managed to circumvent sanctions and export controls imposed by the West. So the aggressor country increased its missile production, it even exceeded the pre-war level.

The head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, said that the effectiveness of the sanctions imposed against Russia depends on whether the Russian Federation will be able to continue producing missiles and killing Ukrainians with them.

Foreign components are often found in the debris of missiles that Russia fires at Ukrainian territory.

According to GUR spokesman Andrei Yusov, the Russians continue to produce missiles for attacks on Ukraine, but cannot return to the level of the stocks they had before the full-scale invasion.
