goes to look for numbers
https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/detail/alabugas-greatly-expanded-production-rate-of-shahed-136-drones/
This is projecting maybe 6,000 Shaheds produced at Russia's Alabuga facility by August 2025.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIM-23_Hawk
We've never fired the HAWK in war ourselves, and I've read that relatively-few have been used. So in an optimal scenario that said missiles haven't been scrapped, all countries holding them are willing to provide MIM-23 missiles, that missiles haven't decayed, that multiple launches are not done against individual targets to improve kill chances, and that no MIM-23s have been destroyed on the ground, at present production rates, total historical MIM-23 production would be able to last something like eight years of Shahed strikes. But my guess is that those are probably optimistic assumptions.
I also don't know whether Russia may have access to sources of Shahed drones other than from Alabuga, like new Iranian-made drones.
Great compilation and info. Thanks!
