"Iskanders", Shaheds and DPRK missiles: Forbes Ukraine assessed the stocks and production volumes of Russian "weapons of terror"

Each month, Russia manufactures between 40 and 60 ballistic missiles and 90 to 120 long-range cruise missiles, in addition to approximately 500 Shahed drones—this estimate is provided by Forbes Ukraine, citing sources from intelligence agencies.

The missile production rates in Russia amount to 132-171 units per month (a similar quantity to what was launched during the record strike on August 26). According to the publication's estimate, this costs around $1.1 billion (whereas drone production is estimated at about $100 million).
