Russia aims to double wartime missile production to boost military success.

Russia's defense chief has urged a state company to double its missile output as both sides in the 14-month war reportedly feel an ammunition crunch. Analysts have been trying to figure out whether Russia is running low on high-precision ammunition, as its missile barrages against Ukraine have become less frequent and smaller in scale. Ukrainian forces, meanwhile, say they are readying their own counteroffensive — and stockpiling ammunition to sustain it along potentially long supply lines. Denmark said it was donating 1.7 billion kroner ($251 million) in aid to Ukraine, including mine clearance vehicles, munition, field bridges, and money for air defense that will be needed for a counteroffensive against Russian forces.
