According to Ukraine’s presidential commissioner for sanctions policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk, investigators examining the missile debris discovered multiple foreign-made electronic elements, including parts from the Belarusian electronics manufacturer Integral.
“Among the foreign components are classic ST Microelectronics, UBlox, Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, and the Belarusian ‘Integral,’” Vlasiuk said.
He added that the missile’s navigation system, identified as Kometa, contains 12 antenna patches and relies on microchips produced in the United States or possibly China.
The missile also includes the Baget onboard control unit, which incorporates Taiwanese memory modules, a switching connector manufactured in Germany, and additional microchips from the United States. According to Vlasiuk, some of the components recovered from the missile were manufactured as recently as 2023.
Information published by Ukraine’s military intelligence on the War & Sanctions portal provides a detailed breakdown of the missile’s structure and the companies involved in its production.
According to the platform, investigators presented an interactive 3D model of the “Izdeliye-30” cruise missile and identified around 20 enterprises connected to the weapon’s manufacturing chain.
The missile has a wingspan of approximately three meters, a warhead weighing up to 800 kilograms, and an estimated range of at least 1,500 kilometers. Ukrainian officials say the Belarus-based manufacturer Integral, founded in Minsk in 1962, supplies integrated circuits and electronic components used in several Russian weapons programs.
According to Ukrainian assessments, the company produces microchips integrated into onboard computing systems, navigation equipment, and control modules used in Russian cruise missiles. The same manufacturer has previously been linked to the production chains of the Kh-101 cruise missile and the 9M727 cruise missile used in the Iskander-K system.
Technical analysis shows that its pneumatic system pyrovalve is identical to a component used in the Kh-35U anti-ship missile, while its launch ejection mechanism resembles systems installed in the Kh-101 and Kh-55 air-launched cruise missiles.
The first known cases of the “Izdeliye-30” cruise missile being used against Ukraine were recorded in early 2026. According to the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office, the weapon was likely used in a Russian strike on a residential building in Kharkiv on March 7, which killed several civilians, including children.
