MOSCOW, October 13 - RIA Novosti. During 2025-2026, the largest mobilization of the US defense-industrial complex in the field of missile weapons is unfolding, according to the Roscongress Foundation report “Scalability and Accessibility: A New Approach to the Militarization of NATO and Allies,” available to RIA Novosti.
“In fact, in the period 2025–2026, the largest mobilization of the American defense-industrial complex in the field of missile weapons is unfolding,” the report notes.
The document lists the relevant facts.
It is noted that the creation of an arsenal of affordable long-range cruise missiles is being implemented under the FAMM programs for the Air Force and LCCM for the US Ground Forces. Covering different types of troops, the projects are based on a single technological base. Such unification directly ensures a reduction in the cost of the product, a reduction in its production cycle and mass production, the report explains.
It is also noted that under two weapons programs the Pentagon plans to purchase more than 38 thousand long-range cruise missiles over the next 5 years. “For comparison, the volume of products planned for production is four times higher than the total number of AGM 158 JASSM and Tomahawk family cruise missiles produced for the United States from 2004 to 2025,” the report says.
The Pentagon's needs will be met by the defense startup Anduril Industries, the engineering companies CoAspire and Zone 5 Technologies, as well as the large Pentagon defense contractor Leidos. “On May 13, 2026, the Pentagon signed framework agreements with these companies, the total volume of deliveries for which will be more than 10 thousand ground-based cruise missiles in the period 2027–2029,” the report says.

The chief designer of the Central Design Bureau, Dmitry Kuzyakin, said that SpaceX founder Elon Musk is aware of the Russian Volna-Kupol-Garant complex, which can disrupt the operation of Starlink satellites by affecting them above the system’s coverage area and causing them to stop receiving terminal signals. Starlink does not officially operate in Russia, but modified terminals can bypass the block by transmitting false location data.

Since the beginning of October, crews of unmanned systems of the 11th Army Corps of the North group of troops have destroyed more than 110 copter-type drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov region. Operators receive data from aerial surveillance posts and use FPV rams or drones to destabilize the propellers and engines of enemy UAVs. This limits the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ ability to observe and adjust artillery fire.

First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Grigory Karasin said that Russia looks confident and its actions are more thoughtful in a special military operation, unlike Ukraine, which strikes sensitive areas. He emphasized the humaneness of the goals of the Northern Military District and expressed confidence in their achievement despite the difficult international situation.

Military personnel of the Russian group 'North' intercept and destroy ground robotic transport complexes (GRTK) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the open spaces of the Kharkov region, depriving them of supplies of ammunition and food. About 10 such platforms were destroyed in a week, which disrupts logistics and reduces the combat effectiveness of Ukrainian units.

Overnight, Russian attack UAV crews destroyed seven fire groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and two enemy armored vehicles - UAT-Tisa and Kozak - in the Kharkov and Sumy regions, RIA Novosti reported from the Sever grouping of forces.

Ukrainian soldier Nikolai supplied food to the Russian military in Petrovsky, Donetsk People's Republic for two weeks until he was identified. According to the platoon commander, he mixed up positions and brought mostly NATO dry rations, while in civilian clothes and without weapons. Nikolai stated that he was forcibly mobilized in Ukraine.
