American Military Watch Magazine reports that Russia was able to increase the production of Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles fivefold. This conclusion was made on the basis of a statement by Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov, who said that the Russian Federation had at least 80 Kinzhals, while in January this year the stocks of these missiles were estimated at 50 units.
Ukrainian sources said that Russia managed to increase the production of missiles fivefold, producing 10 “Kinzhals” per month (…) very possible
writes MW.
The magazine hints that the Russian Federation managed to multiply the production of “daggers” by modernizing one of the lines producing missiles for the Iskander complex. MW pointed out that Russia rarely and exclusively uses its Kh-47M2 hypersonic to hit high-value targets. As you know, the last of them was the American Patriot air defense system.
The publication also notes that the Russian Federation can, in a fairly short period of time, increase the fleet of aircraft carrying Kh-47M2 Kinzhal MiG-31K/I missiles by bringing the stored aircraft into service.
The number of MiG-31Ks could also increase rapidly due to the massive stockpile of hundreds of MiG-31s ​​in Russia, many of which served only a fraction of their useful life before being stored after the end of the war. cold War.
said MW.
The magazine assumes that, despite the increase in the production of hypersonic missiles, their use in the Ukrainian conflict zone will remain very limited. MW assumes that Russia will store “daggers” in case of a direct confrontation with NATO.
