Russia’s ballistic missile reserves have significantly declined, according to Ukraine’s Military Intelligence, which provided updated figures in response to a media inquiry.
The stockpile of “Iskander-M” ballistic missiles and their North Korean equivalents, the KN-23, has nearly halved over the past six weeks.
As of early July 2025, Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence Directorate reported that Russia possessed approximately 300 ballistic missiles, more than 250 of them Iskander-Ms and around 50 KN-23s. This marks a sharp drop from mid-May, when military intelligence estimated the Russian military had around 580 such missiles in reserve.
The report also noted that Russia has deployed more than 60 operational-tactical missile systems near Ukraine’s border capable of launching these types of missiles.
Additionally, intelligence assessments indicate that Russia has ramped up missile production compared to 2024 levels, now manufacturing around 60 missiles per month instead of the previous 40.
