Iran has maintained the ability to produce about 50 ballistic missiles per month despite US and Israeli strikes, about half its pre-war capacity.
This is reported by Bloomberg, citing Western intelligence assessments.
Iran is believed to have retained at least 1,700 ballistic missiles, according to a Western official familiar with the intelligence. Despite the damage to its military infrastructure, Tehran continues to replenish its stockpile.
In addition, thousands of Shahed-type strike drones may remain in Iran’s arsenal. At the same time, the exact number of missiles and drones is difficult to establish, since the scale of pre-war stocks and their replenishment after the strikes is unknown.
These assessments differ from Washington’s statements, which since the beginning of the war has emphasized the significant weakening of Tehran’s military capabilities.
In particular, on November 10, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that American strikes had destroyed more than 80% of Iran’s nuclear industrial base.
It was previously reported that Russia was secretly helping Iran develop supersonic missiles . According to the Financial Times, Russian specialists provided Tehran with technical advice on missile technology.
