Russia has created a new cruise missile. It turns out that the weapon is based on Western technologies
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has published technical data on Russia's new 'Izdelie-30' cruise missile, revealing its capabilities and the involvement of foreign technologies in its development.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has recently released detailed technical information regarding Russia's new 'Izdelie-30' cruise missile, which was first deployed in combat conditions at the end of last year. This missile is notable for its 800-kilogram warhead and a range of at least 1500 kilometers, making it a significant threat. The report highlights that the missile incorporates not only standardized components from previous Russian systems but also foreign electronics, indicating a reliance on Western technology in its development.
In an interactive 3D model published by 'War&Sanctions', the key components of the 'Izdelie-30' missile are examined in detail. The analysis provides information on the 20 Russian industrial companies that are reportedly involved in its production, showcasing the collaborative nature of military technology development in Russia. The inclusion of foreign technology raises questions about the sources of these components and how they may impact international relations and sanctions.
Furthermore, the design and labeling analysis points to the experimental design bureau 'Zvezda', a part of the Tactical Missile Armament Corporation, as the producer of this missile. This revelation strengthens concerns regarding the technological advancements that Russia may achieve despite ongoing sanctions and highlights the international dimension of military technology, where countries exploit global supply chains for defense innovations.
