Russia is churning out up to 50 X-101 missiles per month and ramping up production of Iskander missiles — Ukrainian Armed Forces colonel
Russia continues to ramp up its production of missile weapons, having shifted the production of X-101 cruise missiles to a nearly round-the-clock schedule. Currently, the occupiers are manufacturing about 40–50 such missiles per month.
This was reported by Alexander Zaruba, chief research fellow at the State Research Institute for Weapons Testing and Certification.
According to him, Russia also produces 60 to 70 Iskander ballistic missiles every month. At the same time, the Russian defense industry remains dependent on imported components: a single X-101 missile contains up to 160 foreign parts, and Shahed/“Geran”-type drones use at least 50 foreign-made microelectronic components.
The colonel noted that Russian industry is increasingly relying on mass production, sacrificing weapon accuracy in order to increase quantity.

On the night of June 10, drones attacked the Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery in the Samara region of Russia. Following the strikes, a massive fire broke out at the facility, which, according to local residents, was visible from various parts of the city.
