What happened
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that Russia is producing 150 short-range and medium-range missiles every month.
According to Pistorius, only a portion of these missiles are being used on the front lines in Ukraine.
Why it matters
This production rate suggests Russia has a significant missile stockpile, which could sustain its military operations over time.
The fact that not all missiles are used in Ukraine may indicate Russia is building reserves or preparing for other contingencies.
