Ukraine's military intelligence agency, HUR, said on November 4, 2026 that Russia has the capacity to produce more than 200 ballistic and cruise missiles per month. In a post on Telegram, the agency said up to 110 of those are ballistic missiles.
HUR said Russia is believed to hold up to 700 ballistic missiles and several thousand cruise missiles of various types in its stockpile as of October. The agency did not say how it obtained the data. It said about 115 of the weapons are 9M723 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and that Russia's stockpile of 3M22 Zircon missiles likely exceeds 120. The Zircon was designed to target warships but has increasingly been used in large-scale missile attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, HUR said.
"Russia, the aggressor state, maintains significant stockpiles of long-range missile weapons and continues to ramp up production despite international sanctions," HUR said in the Telegram post.
The statement followed a Russian attack on Ukraine's energy facilities. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia launched 17 ballistic missiles against Ukraine overnight and only three were shot down, according to the Air Force. Earlier, on November 3, Russia carried out its biggest mass attack on Ukraine's energy facilities this year, targeting substations, transmission systems and power plants across nine regions. Ukraine faces a deepening shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles to counter ballistic threats, even as the attacks strain the country's air defense.
