Russia to Increase Production of 9M729 Novator Strategic Missiles with a Range of up to 2,500 km

A significant increase in the production of 9M728 missiles for Iskander-M is also expected

Russia no longer considers itself bound by the moratorium on the deployment of ground-based intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles (IRSM), the Foreign Ministry said.

The rejection of the moratorium opens the way for the Novator Design Bureau to freely produce 9M729 Novator strategic cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 km for integration into the 9K720 Iskander-M missile systems, Avia.pro reported, citing sources.

In addition, an increase in the production of 9M728 (R-500) long-range tactical cruise missiles with a range of 500–700 km and Iskander-1000 operational-tactical quasi-ballistic missiles with a range of 800–1000 km is expected.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the rate of delivery of Su-57 fighters to the Russian Aerospace Forces has increased.
