Vladyslav Vlasuk, the President of Ukraine's Commissioner, revealed a shocking finding after analyzing the debris of the Russian 'Oreshnik' rocket. Unlike the familiar 'Shahed' drones and cruise missiles, this model, according to preliminary data, does not contain any Western components. This changes the perception of the technological independence of the Russian defense industry.
Full Production Cycle or a Step Back?
Experts are carefully examining every fragment collected after the attack on May 24. If the theory is confirmed, it means that the Kremlin has managed to create a fully closed production cycle for this type of weapon. Alternatively, Russia may have reverted to using outdated but entirely domestic technologies, abandoning imported microelectronics that are critical for other types of weaponry.
Where Did the Debris Fall?
This attack marked the third use of the 'Oreshnik' against Ukraine. This time, specialists managed to collect an unprecedented volume of evidence. 95% of all available fragments fell in a field, with only a minor part of the structure damaging private garages. Such a concentration of debris allows for the most accurate analysis and understanding of the enemy's real technological capabilities.
The Sanctioned Titan Continues
Despite the autonomy of the 'Oreshnik', other types of weapons used that same night still critically depend on supplies from third countries. Efforts to block the supply channels of microchips for 'Shahed' drones continue. Every found component is identified to increase sanctions pressure on Russian manufacturers. The launch was carried out from the Kapustin Yar test site, and the strike hit the area of Bila Tserkva in Kyiv region.
