Russia has started deploying new cruise missiles “Izdelie-30” against Ukraine, with a warhead of 800 kg, which is 300 kg heavier than the standard Iskander-M ballistic missile. Its operational range is at least 1,500 km, the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence, also known as HUR, reports.
This missile is particularly dangerous to the Ukrainian civilians and can destroy critical facilities.
All three components of its navigation system contain parts from foreign manufacturers — the US, Switzerland, China, and the Netherlands.
20 enterprises build the deadly Izdelie-30
Twenty enterprises are involved in the production of Russia's new cruise missiles. Apparently, these companies find ways to bypass Western sanctions.
A separate electronic control unit for the warhead, BUBS-30, is built on a Russian component base. Its key element is a 32-bit ARM architecture microcontroller 1986VE1AT, produced by PKK Milandr.
Integration of VNIIIR-Progress and KB Navis technologies via a coupling unit
The missile’s satellite navigation system, seemingly a first for the adversary’s cruise missiles, combines products from two Russian companies: a jam-resistant satellite signal receiver with a digital antenna array “Kometa-M12” produced by VNIIIR-Progress, and a receiver-computing unit produced by KB Navis, based on the NAVIS NR9 receiver.
VNIIIR-Progress is a leading Russian developer, manufacturer, and supplier of:
- hardware-software complexes for relay protection and automation
- automated process control systems
- electronic component bases (electronic modules)
- electrotechnical products and radio-electronic equipment
Within the cooperation on the production of 9M723 “Iskander-M” ballistic missiles, VNIIIR-Progress produces and supplies receiver-computing units of the SNS “Kometa-R8” system.
Within the cooperation on production of the cruise missile “Izdelie-30”, VNIIIR-Progress manufactures small-sized adaptive antenna arrays (MAAR) “Kometa-M12”, which are part of the missile’s satellite navigation system.
A coupling unit produced by ANPP Temp-Avia, known for making flight controllers for guided bombs, is used to integrate these systems.
By markings and design features, the missile is identified as a development of OKB Zvezda, part of the Tactical Missile Armament Corporation.
The corporation’s enterprises manufacture missiles that took the lives of hundreds of Ukrainian civilians:
- missiles X-101, X-59MK, X-69, “Izdelie-30”
- guided aviation bombs
- high-explosive and cluster bombs with universal correction and planning modules
- standardized cross-type glide munitions (UMPB)
The corporation actively fulfills state defense orders to supply the strategic air-launched cruise missile X-101 and the guided aviation missiles X-59M2/X-59M2A.
