Russia increases production of high-precision missiles Kh-101 and Kinzhals - Defense Intelligence

Russia increases production of high-precision missiles, in particular Kh-101 cruise missiles and Kinzhal missiles.

This was reported by the Deputy Head of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Major General Vadym Skibitskyi, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

It is reported that a reshuffle of production was recorded in russia, although the production of missiles in russia in 2025 did not undergo significant changes compared to 2024. The russian federation increased production of Kh-101 cruise missiles and reduced the number of Kalibr missiles due to their inefficiency.

"The enemy also plans to increase the production of Kinzhals and ballistic missiles for Iskander, since these types of weapons have shown greater effectiveness in combat conditions," Skibitskyi noted.

As Ukrainian News Agency reported, in early January, the russian publication The Insider wrote that the russians manufacture a key component of the Shahed strike drone from parts they buy from companies in Ireland and Taiwan.

We will remind, it was previously reported that the Kh-59 aircraft cruise missile, which is actively used by the occupiers' tactical aviation, contains 42 foreign parts.

We also wrote that US companies sell more components to the russians than others, which they use in the production of weapons and military equipment.
