Russia is expected to produce around 2,500 high-precision missiles in 2025, along with hundreds of tanks, combat aircraft, artillery systems, and drones, according to Ukraine’s military intelligence. The buildup includes expanding missile range and accuracy as part of preparations for a potential conflict with NATO by 2030, according to The Kyiv Independent. Meanwhile, Ukraine is also boosting its own defense production, aiming to manufacture 3,000 missiles and 30,000 long-range drones in 2025. Russian attacks have intensified, with over 1,300 drones and 50 missiles launched against Ukraine in early September alone. They write:
Russia is expected to manufacture close to 2,500 high-precision missiles in 2025, spanning cruise, ballistic, and hypersonic classes, Vadym Skibitskyi, the deputy head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, said in an interview with Ukrinform published on Sept. 7. […]
In addition to missile production, Russia plans to manufacture a range of modern military hardware by the end of 2025, including 57 combat aircraft like the Su-57, Su-35, Su-34, and Su-30.
Nearly 250 T-90M tanks, 1,100 BTR-3 and BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, and 365 artillery systems are also on the list, according to Skibitskyi. […]

Russia carried out its largest drone attack since the start of the full-scale invasion against Ukraine, launching a record 810 drones overnight on Sept. 7.
