Article top vertical

As of October 2026, Russia had accumulated up to 700 ballistic missiles and several thousand cruise missiles of various types. Ukraine's Defence Intelligence Directorate (DIU) reported this on Facebook.

Russia continues to maintain substantial stockpiles of long-range missiles and is increasing production rates despite international sanctions. According to Ukrainian intelligence, as of October 2026, Russia's reserves included up to 700 ballistic missiles and several thousand cruise missiles of various types.

Russia's defence industry currently has the capacity to manufacture more than 200 cruise and ballistic missiles per month, including up to 110 ballistic missiles.

In particular, Russia's current stockpile of 9M723 Iskander-M missiles is estimated at approximately 115 units. Russian defence manufacturers produce around 65 of these missiles each month, in line with planned production targets.

At the same time, Russia is developing a modernised missile system with a projected range of 550–700 km.

Stockpiles of RM-48U missiles for the S-400 air defence system are estimated at up to 400 units. Russian manufacturers produce approximately 40 new missiles of this type each month.

Russia has also accumulated a substantial arsenal of 3M55 Oniks anti-ship missiles, including modernised versions, with total reserves exceeding 600 units.

To improve their effectiveness against ground targets, these missiles have been equipped with more powerful warheads and extended flight ranges. More than 55 such missiles have been manufactured over the past seven months.

Russia's total stockpile of 3M22 Zircon missiles exceeds 120 units. However, their production rate remains relatively low, with more than 30 missiles manufactured during the first seven months of 2026.

Production of Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missiles has been temporarily suspended due to accuracy problems. Russian manufacturers have redirected existing production capacity towards other types of ballistic weapons.

Kh-101 cruise missiles remain one of Russia's main weapons for large-scale missile attacks.

The monthly production target for these missiles exceeds 80 units, while actual output at some manufacturing facilities is reportedly higher than planned.

However, technical defects have been identified in some missiles, including problems with their release from aircraft. As a result, certain production batches have been returned to factories for repairs.

Russia's stockpile of 3M14 Kalibr cruise missiles exceeds 450 units, with approximately 29 missiles produced each month.

According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia is currently allocating a significant proportion of these missiles to its strategic reserves, including for the future armament of its naval fleets.
