As of October 2026, the Russian army has accumulated up to 700 ballistic missiles and several thousand cruise missiles of various types. This information was provided by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR).
Production capabilities of the Russian defense industry
According to GUR, the Russian defense industry (OPK) has the capability to produce over 200 missile systems monthly, with 110 of those being ballistic missiles. This indicates significant production capabilities that could be used to continue missile attacks.
Development of new missile models
In addition to accumulating existing stocks, Russian developers are also working on new models of ballistic missiles, which will have a range of up to 700 km. This represents a significant improvement compared to previously known models, such as the Iskander-M, which had a range of 500 km.
Conclusions and implications
The increase in stocks of ballistic and cruise missiles in Russia may have serious implications for security in the region. Military analysts argue that such actions indicate Russia's intentions to continue its aggressive policy in Ukraine and other countries. This underscores the need for enhanced defensive measures by neighboring states.
