Russia can’t restore its pre-war missile stocks at current production pace – Ukraine’s intelligence

Russia is trying to increase its missile production, but its pace is significantly slower, which will not guarantee its return to the pre-war volumes for a long time, says Andrii Yusov, Ukraine's Intelligence representative.

Nevertheless, the threat of missile terrorist attacks on the energy system and civil infrastructure remains in place, and this is a serious challenge for the Ukrainian Security and Defense Forces, as well as the matter of work for our pro-Ukrainian international coalition. Of course, work in this direction is underway, Yusov noted.

Previously, The New York Times claimed Russia has managed to avoid sanctions and export controls imposed by the West and has increased its production of missiles compared to pre-war levels.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian intelligence has confirmed that a Russian large landing ship and submarine were hit by missile strikes in temporarily occupied Sevastopol.

Several powerful explosions rang out in occupied Sevastopol early on Wednesday, September 13. Russia's Defense Ministry reported a cruise missile attack on the Ordzhonikidze shipyard in temporarily occupied Sevastopol, which damaged two warships.

According to OSINT technical analysts, a large Ropucha-class landing ship and a Kilo-class submarine were destroyed in the attack.
