Alarming data. Russia is producing more missiles than the world can intercept
Russia is producing more ballistic missiles than the global production of Patriot missile systems designed to intercept them, according to Beskrestnow. The country continues to manufacture Iskander missiles and S-400 missiles, reallocating some production capacity from Kinzhal missiles to ballistic missiles. This surplus allows Moscow to escalate military actions. The imbalance in air defense systems is highlighted by the increasing production of Russian ballistic missiles, exacerbated by the addition of missiles from North Korea and Iran. The only effective countermeasure remains the PAC-3 interceptors used in Patriot systems, but their production is limited. Additionally, Russia is ramping up the production of Shahed drones, with up to 3,000 produced monthly, which are deployed almost immediately after manufacture, posing a threat to western Ukraine.
