Russia stockpiles 700 ballistic, thousands of cruise missiles for Ukraine strikes

Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate reports Russia has amassed up to 700 ballistic missiles, several thousand cruise missiles, and over 6,000 strike drones as of October, indicating preparation for intensified strikes on Ukraine. The figures are unverified and likely represent an intelligence assessment, not confirmed stockpile counts. This signals a potential escalation in Russia's missile campaign, raising the risk of increased civilian and infrastructure damage in Ukraine.
