Russia continues to maintain a large arsenal of long-range missiles and expand production despite international sanctions, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) reports.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, as of October 2026, the aggressor state has up to 700 ballistic missiles and several thousand cruise missiles of various types in its arsenal.
Russia's existing military-industrial production capabilities allow it to manufacture more than 200 cruise and ballistic missiles per month.
Importantly, up to 110 of these missiles are ballistic.
In particular, Russia's stockpile of 9M723 Iskander-M missiles is estimated at approximately 115 units. Russian defense industry enterprises produce around 65 of these missiles every month, meeting their established production targets.
In addition, Russia is developing an upgraded missile system with an estimated strike range of 550–700 kilometers.
Russia's arsenal of RM-48U missiles for S-400 air defense systems is estimated at approximately 400 units. Monthly production reaches around 40 missiles.
More than 600 units in Russia's stockpile are 3M55 Oniks anti-ship missiles, including upgraded versions. To enable their use against ground targets, Russia has equipped them with more powerful warheads and increased their range. During the first seven months of 2026, Russian industry produced more than 55 of these missiles.
The number of 3M22 Zircon missiles in Russia's arsenal exceeds 120. However, their production remains relatively limited: more than 30 missiles were manufactured during the first seven months of 2026.
Production of Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles has currently been suspended. The main reason is problems with targeting accuracy.
Despite this, Russia has redirected the production resources previously used to manufacture these missiles toward other types of ballistic weapons.
Kh-101 cruise missiles remain one of Russia's key weapons for launching large-scale missile attacks. Planned production exceeds 80 units per month. At some facilities, actual output is even higher than the established targets.
At the same time, technical malfunctions have been identified during Kh-101 production. In particular, there have been problems with missiles detaching from their aircraft carriers. Because of these defects, some finished missiles have to be returned to manufacturing facilities for repairs.
According to the latest data, Russia's stockpile of 3M14 Kalibr cruise missiles exceeds 450 units. Russian factories produce approximately 29 of these missiles every month.
Importantly, the enemy keeps a considerable share of its newly manufactured weapons in strategic reserves, including for the future replenishment of naval arsenals.
Recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia's military facilities are now also directed against Europe.
It was also reported that the US is ordering more than 1,000 new ERAM cruise missiles for Ukraine.
