Russia ramps up Zircon and Oniks missile output amid Ukraine war

Russia ramps up Zircon and Oniks missile output amid Ukraine war
The agility of Russia's military-industrial complex triggers alarm in the West and strains Ukrainian air defense

In a dramatic realignment of its military tactics, Russia has moved forward, managing to sharply increase missile production to conduct continuous and consecutive strikes against Ukraine's military infrastructure.
As revealed by Military Watch Magazine (MWM), Moscow successfully reallocated resources across its defense-industrial complex among various missile programs.
Specifically, by scaling back the production of Kinzhal and Kh-32 ballistic and aero-ballistic missiles, Russia dramatically boosted the production of hypersonic Zircon and modernized P-800 Oniks missiles, resulting in fulfilling its annual production plan within just seven months.
The publication underscores that this development demonstrates the formidable agility of the Russian defense industry under wartime conditions, as instead of attempting to maximize output across all missile types simultaneously, Moscow focuses assembly lines, resources, and funding on systems deemed operationally critical.

Alarm sounded by Ukrainian intelligence over relentless pounding without pause

At the same time, the leadership of Ukrainian intelligence is raising the alarm regarding the continuation of operations.
Earlier, the Deputy Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of Ukraine, Vadym Skibitskyi, warned that Russia's armed forces do not intend to make any pause whatsoever in mass strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure.
The Ukrainian general noted that Russian forces might reduce the number of missiles launched per individual target, but halting strikes is virtually impossible.
According to Vadym Skibitskyi, Russian forces, leveraging a substantial stockpile of ballistic missiles for Iskander systems, retain the ability to constantly rotate target priorities, maintaining the unrelenting frequency of deadly strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure.
