Amid a protracted conflict and the need to maintain a high tempo of strike operations, the Russian military-industrial complex is undergoing a massive restructuring of its production chains. According to a statement by Vadym Skibitsky, Major General and Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Moscow has made a strategic decision to reallocate resources. A key factor in the growth of ballistic missile production has been the scaling back of the production of Kh-22 'Kinzhal' hypersonic missiles and Kh-32 guided missiles. ### Resource Reallocation and Abandonment of 'Kinzhal' According to Skibitsky, raw materials and missile fuel previously intended for the creation of 'Kinzhal' missiles are now being redirected to the production of other types of ballistic missiles. GUR experts believe this decision is dictated by the need to optimize costs and increase strike effectiveness. Instead of individual, expensive, and not always accurate hypersonic strikes, Russia is betting on the mass use of ballistic missiles, which, according to Ukrainian intelligence, demonstrate greater reliability in hitting targets. ### Accuracy Issues and Kh-32 Modernization A significant revision of plans has also occurred regarding Kh-32 missiles β€” a modernized version of the Kh-22 cruise missile. Russia has suspended their serial production and use, returning some units for modification. According to intelligence data, despite attempts to increase guidance accuracy, combat tests of the Kh-32 showed unsatisfactory results. Skibitsky notes that for effective weapons, the allowable deviation from the target should not exceed 5–7 meters, whereas for Russian missiles, this figure reaches 30 meters and more. ### Strategy of 'Reliable' Strikes The logic of resource reallocation is simple: if certain types of missiles reach their targets and cause damage, their production is increased. At the same time, funds and components that previously went to complex and expensive projects are now being used for the mass production of simpler and more accessible systems. This allows Russia to maintain a high tempo of strikes, despite a shortage of some components and sanctions pressure. ### Contradictory Data While Ukrainian intelligence insists that Russia has switched to mass production of ballistic missiles by scaling back other projects, official data from Moscow remains closed. At the same time, Western sources and analysts note that Russia continues to claim the development of hypersonic weapons, including 'Kinzhal'. Differences in assessments may be due to the fact that Moscow does not disclose real production volumes, while Ukrainian intelligence relies on data regarding deliveries and strike results. ## πŸ” Fact-Check Verification - [KABs will strike up to 200 km: RF moves to serial production of bombs with a large combat radius, β€” GUR](https://focus.ua/voennye-novosti/729368-modificirovannye-kaby-rf-vyhodit-na-seriynoe-proizvodstvo-bomb-s-dalnostyu-200-km) - ΠŸΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π°Π΅Ρ‚ ΠΈΠ½Ρ„ΠΎΡ€ΠΌΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΡŽ ΠΎ сСрийном производствС Π½ΠΎΠ²Ρ‹Ρ… Ρ‚ΠΈΠΏΠΎΠ² Π±ΠΎΠΌΠ± ΠΈ Ρ€Π°ΠΊΠ΅Ρ‚. - [Russia launches serial production of new aviation bombs: GUR tells about the threat](https://www.unian.net/war/voyna-v-ukraine-rossiyane-pereshli-k-seriynomu-vypusku-novyh-aviabomb-13169259.html) - ΠŸΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π°Π΅Ρ‚ ΠΈΠ½Ρ„ΠΎΡ€ΠΌΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΡŽ ΠΎ сСрийном производствС Π½ΠΎΠ²Ρ‹Ρ… Π°Π²ΠΈΠ°Π±ΠΎΠΌΠ± ΠΈ Ρ€Π°ΠΊΠ΅Ρ‚. - [Ukraine reveals RF MIC plans: large-scale production of aviation, armored vehicles and missiles, β€” GUR](https://focus.ua/voennye-novosti/723062-vpk-rf-v-2025-godu-rossiya-vypustit-250-tankov-i-2500-raket-detali) - ΠŸΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π°Π΅Ρ‚ ΠΈΠ½Ρ„ΠΎΡ€ΠΌΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΡŽ ΠΎ сСрийном производствС Π½ΠΎΠ²Ρ‹Ρ… Ρ‚ΠΈΠΏΠΎΠ² Π±ΠΎΠΌΠ± ΠΈ Ρ€Π°ΠΊΠ΅Ρ‚. - [GUR: This year Russia will produce 120 thousand glide bombs and 70 thousand drones](https://www.pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2025/11/15/8007390/) - ΠŸΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π°Π΅Ρ‚ ΠΈΠ½Ρ„ΠΎΡ€ΠΌΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΡŽ ΠΎ ΠΏΠ»Π°Π½Π°Ρ… производства Π±ΠΎΠΌΠ± ΠΈ Π΄Ρ€ΠΎΠ½ΠΎΠ². ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Why did Russia redirect resources from 'Kinzhal' to ballistic missiles? **A:** According to GUR, this is due to the low accuracy and high cost of hypersonic missiles, as well as the need to maintain a high tempo of strikes. ### Q: What is the accuracy of Russian Kh-32 missiles? **A:** According to GUR, the deviation from the target for Russian Kh-32 missiles reaches 30 meters and more, which is considered insufficiently accurate for effective weapons. ### Q: What is happening with the production of Kh-32? **A:** Production of Kh-32 has been suspended, and some missiles have been returned for modification due to unsatisfactory results of combat tests.
