Ukrainian intelligence disclosed specifications and showed images of the newest missile Izdeliye-30, which Russia can use to strike the entire territory of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports.
Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published an interactive 3D model, main elements and components of the new enemy cruise missile Izdeliye-30, as well as data on 20 enterprises involved in production cooperation.
It is noted that the missile has a wingspan of about three meters, a warhead weighing 800 kilograms, and a range of at least 1,500 kilometers. The first cases of use of a new missile against Ukraine were recorded at the end of last year.
By markings and design features product was identified as the development of the Design Bureau Zvezda, which is part of the corporation Tactical Missiles Armament. Certain technical solutions are unified with other products of this developer and the corporation as a whole.
Components of the new missile
In particular, the installed pyrovalve of the pneumatic system is identical to elements of the Kh-35U missile, and the aviation ejection device is similar to AKU-5M systems used on missiles of Kh-101, Kh-55, Kh-555 types.
Satellite navigation system, almost for the first time, for enemy cruise missiles, is represented by a combination of products of two different Russian companies — satellite signal receiver with digital antenna array Kometa-m12 and receiving-computing unit produced by Design Bureau Navis, created on the basis of NAVIS NR9 receiver.
For their integration interface unit produced by Scientific Production Enterprise Temp-Avia, known for manufacturing flight controllers for guided aerial bombs, is used. All three components of the navigation system contain parts from manufacturers from the United States, Switzerland, China, and the Netherlands.
The separate electronic control unit of warhead BUBS-30 is made on a Russian element base. Its key component is a 32-bit microcontroller of ARM architecture 1986VE1AT produced by the company Production Company Milandr.
The Main Intelligence Directorate earlier disclosed characteristics of a new Russian unmanned aerial vehicle — strike drone Geran-5 with a jet engine capable of flying at a speed of up to 600 kilometers per hour.
Also, earlier experts of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published a three-dimensional scheme of the Russian unmanned aerial vehicle Orion, as well as disclosed information about 43 enterprises involved in its production.
