Ukrainian Intelligence Reveals Foreign Components Used in Russia’s New Izdeliye-30 Cruise Missile

The HUR has published a technical breakdown of Russia’s Izdeliye-30 cruise missile, which – despite international sanctions against Russia – contains components from the US, China, and even Europe.

Ukraine’s military intelligence service (HUR) has published an interactive, three-dimensional model and technical breakdown of Russia’s new Izdeliye-30 cruise missile – revealing its structure, its key components, and the network of companies involved in its production. 

In a post on its War&Sanctions portal, the HUR said the missile has a wingspan of about three meters (10 feet), a warhead weighing roughly 800 kilograms and a reported range of at least 1,500 kilometers (about 930 miles).

Its first confirmed use against Ukraine was recorded late last year.

According to the HUR assessment, the missile was identified by its markings and design features as a product of Russia’s Zvezda design bureau, part of the Tactical Missiles Corporation, with several technical solutions unified with other Russian cruise missiles, including components similar to those used in the Kh-35U and Kh-101 series.

Ukrainian intelligence said that the missile’s satellite navigation system combines products from two Russian firms. A jam-resistant satellite signal receiver with a digital antenna array and a separate computing unit is integrated through an interface module produced by a company known for manufacturing flight controllers for guided aerial bombs.

All three navigation components were found to contain parts made by foreign manufacturers from China, the United States, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

An electronic control unit for the warhead, identified as BUBS-30, was described as being built on a Russian component base, centered on a 32-bit ARM-architecture microcontroller produced domestically.

The disclosure also includes data on 20 enterprises involved in the missile’s production chain, which Ukrainian intelligence described as part of its ongoing effort to expose Russia’s weapons development and help international partners counter emerging threats.

Russia’s sanction evasion

In recent months, Ukrainian intelligence released technical profiles and supplier lists for missiles, cruise systems and drones – steps Kyiv says are crucial for helping partners close loopholes and stop the flow of dual-use goods.

The War&Sanctions platform, created and maintained by the HUR, documents Russian supply chains, tracks sanctioned entities, and lists foreign components found in Russian weapons.

The War&Sanctions portal currently contains:

  • More than 5,200 foreign-made components identified in 181 types of Russian weapons
  • 12 interactive diagrams of Russian and Iranian weapon systems
  • Over 280 companies involved in their production

“Weapons Russia is using against Ukraine today may be used tomorrow against other states,” the HUR warned – calling for “synchronized action, stronger sanctions, and sustained support for Ukraine to stop the aggressor.”
