Despite regular, massive attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, russia’s missile arsenals are not being depleted. It was reported to NV by the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The kremlin is actively expanding the production capacity of its military-industrial complex. This allows the enemy to replenish its weapons stockpiles in a timely manner and maintain them at a consistently high level.
According to military intelligence data, as of mid-April 2026, russia has the largest stockpiles of Kh-29/31/35/58/59 guided air-launched missiles, numbering 2,600 units. The aggressor also has at its disposal approximately 690 Onyx cruise missiles, 460 Kalibr missiles, 350 Kh-22/32 missiles, and 230 hypersonic Zircon missiles. The arsenal of Iskander-M ballistic missiles is estimated at 200 units, and the enemy has about 100 hypersonic "Kinzhal" missiles. In addition, intelligence has documented the presence of up to 50 North Korean KN-23 missiles and up to 10 units of the latest Oreshnik medium-range missiles.
A comparative analysis shows that over the past six months, the number of certain types of missiles has even increased. Specifically, while the stockpile of "Kinzhal" missiles stood at about 50 units in December 2025, it has now doubled. At the same time, production rates allow the Kremlin to manufacture dozens of new missiles every month. Russia is most actively producing strategic Kh-101s (up to 70 units per month) and Iskander-M ballistic missiles (up to 60 units). Production of "Kalibrs" (25 per month), air-launched Kh-35s (about 20), and "Kinzhals" (up to 10 units) continues at a slower but steady pace.
The Defense Intelligence notes that although production of certain items, such as the "Onyx" or "Zircon," has slowed somewhat compared to last year, moscow’s overall strategy remains unchanged: maintaining missile capabilities to continue strikes against Ukraine amid the kremlin’s threats to attack Kyiv in response to potential incidents in moscow during the May 9 celebrations.
