Russia has enough missiles for 3-5 major attacks – Skibitskyi
Russian industry produces maximum 40 missiles per month
Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, russia has produced 240 X-101 cruise missiles and about 120 Kalibr naval missiles. Consequently, the russian military industry produces about 40 missiles per month, which have been fired at Ukrainian energy infrastructure since the beginning of October.

“According to our calculations, they have enough missiles for 3-5 waves of attacks. This is if each wave contains 80-90 missiles,” the intelligence representative noted.
In some attacks, the enemy used fewer missiles – for example, a week ago, on December 5, about 70 missiles were launched. Russia has not disclosed the volumes of either stockpiles or production of missiles.
In recent months, analysts have concluded that pre-war estimates of those volumes were understated. Most experts, however, still believe that the rate of production of such munitions in russia does not keep pace with their consumption.
