On his Telegram channel, Beskrestnov posted photos of debris recovered from the site and included commentary on Russia’s arms stockpiles.
“Shaheds usually bear production dates five to 15 days
earlier; that means Russia attacks us almost immediately after they roll off
the assembly line,” he wrote.
Beskrestnov said Iskander 9M723 ballistic missiles recently used by Russia show 2025 production dates, suggesting Moscow maintains a stock of at least 180 to 250 such missiles. He added that Zircon hypersonic missiles used to strike Ukraine are dated 2026, Kh-101 cruise missiles are typically manufactured a few months before use, S-400 (48N6U) surface-to-air missiles also show 2026 production dates, and Kh-59 air-to-surface missiles are dated to the third quarter of 2025.
Given current production rates, Beskrestnov suggested Russia
cannot amass large stockpiles, so nearly all weapons produced are soon used in
strikes on Ukraine.
