In 2025, the Russian defense industry will produce 750 9M723 ballistic missiles for the Iskander OTRK and 560 air-launched Kh-101 cruise missiles. This was reported in a доклад by the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI).

This gives an average production rate of about 46 X-101 missiles and about 62 9M723 missiles each month.

In addition, Russia will release 70,000 sets of universal planning and correction modules (UMPC) for FAB-250/500M62/T, FAB-1500M-54/3000 and ODAB-500 air bombs.

RUSI also writes that Russia is modernizing its Kh-101 missiles in every possible way to increase their effectiveness. Thus, in addition to adding a cluster warhead and doubling the high-explosive warhead, the Kh-101 has an improved Otblesk-U optical correction system and an L-504 trap shooting system to counter missiles with thermal guidance.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Su-57 performed the famous Pugachev's Cobra and spin barrel: the Russian fighter "outdanced" the American F-35 in the skies of India.
