Destinus’ monthly output tops Europe’s pre-war annual cruise missile production

Dutch-headquartered Destinus says it has completed more than 1,750 Ruta Block 1 cruise missiles in its European operations and that monthly output is approaching 300 units. The company develops the missile's navigation system and manufactures its T150 turbojet internally, while engineering its airframe, guidance and avionics for serial production. It has also begun production of the larger Ruta Block 2, which is designed for a 250-kilogram payload and a range exceeding 700 kilometers, with containerized storage and launch. The reported production figures count completed Block 1 weapons, and Destinus has not disclosed corresponding delivery totals.
