Both figures refer exclusively to Ruta B1 missiles. They count completed weapons, with no delivery totals disclosed.
“My job isn’t to build one good missile. It’s to make sure we build every one to the same standard,” said Sidney Berndt, Destinus’s chief manufacturing and supply chain officer.
Destinus manufactures Ruta B1’s engine and develops its navigation system in-house. The company also engineers airframes and avionics, using repeatable production processes across its European industrial operations.
“Number 1,750 is a milestone. What matters is the production system that makes the next one possible,” Berndt said.
The Ruta family forms part of a wider portfolio of strike weapons and interceptors developed under a unified architecture. Destinus says that approach is intended for high-intensity operations requiring weapons to be stored, moved and replaced quickly.
