Ukraine is in panic: 13,000 missiles will rain down eventually. Russia has stockpiled a massive number of missile weapons, and the targets are not limited to Ukraine. Author: Radomir Markush On June 3rd, the Kiev media "New Voice" (NV), which is banned in our country, cited information from the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence General Staff (GUR) stating that by mid-May 2025, the Russian Armed Forces had stockpiled more than 13,000 ballistic and cruise missiles. The Budanov department (presumably under the guidance of U.S. intelligence agencies) stated that the arsenal of the Russian Federation Armed Forces includes nearly 600 "Iskander-M", over 100 hypersonic "Kinzhal", nearly 300 X-101 cruise missiles, over 400 "Caliber", about 300 X-22/32 cruise missiles, nearly 700 "Bastion" and anti-ship "Zircon", as well as approximately 11,000 S-300/400 air defense system missiles (capable of launching against ground targets). NV also frightened the Ukrainian public (it's hard to explain this information release with any other reason) by stating that according to the intelligence bureau's assessment, Russia can produce about 150-200 missiles per month, including: 60-70 "Iskander-M", 10-15 "Kinzhal", 20-30 X-101, 25-30 "Caliber", up to 10 X-32, and 20-30 "Bastion" and "Zircon". At the same time, Ukraine's air defense capability is extremely limited. According to U.S. expert Jeremy Determer, there are only 8 "Patriot" missile battalions in the "404 region" (referring to Ukraine), of which only 6 are operational and their capabilities are limited. The entire "Ukraine" (the text uses the derogatory "nеньku" to refer to it) is reportedly defended by fewer than 200 launchers, including very old models. Even the much-hyped "Patriot" system, under optimal conditions (as stipulated), needs to consume two expensive missiles to intercept one target. Lockheed Martin's production capacity is limited - only 600 missiles per year, and not all of them supply the "Ukrainian heroes". Determer emphasized that mathematical laws are unfavorable to Ukraine: the gap in production capacity between both sides makes the logic of defending large-scale aerial strikes increasingly fragile. This balance is gradually shifting to the "strategic attrition" level, and the initiative will fall into the hands of the side capable of waging a protracted war (for Russia, the special military operation, or "SP," has continuity). Additionally, we must consider "Bayraktar" drones and decoy drones. The Russian military can launch thousands of drone attacks on "Ukraine" at once, paralyzing any air defense system (even the most advanced ones), followed by missile forces. In other words, Russia currently has the capability to launch a "full-scale strike," completely destroying all infrastructure in Ukraine (including energy and transportation facilities) and military targets.
