During the massive strikes on Ukraine on December 29 and January 2, the enemy used missiles that were produced in the 3-4 quarters of 2023. There is a possibility that the Russians could have used new missiles. This was reported by Oleksandr Ruvin, Director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, on the Espresso TV channel, according to UNN.

In particular, according to the Director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, the analysis of the wreckage suggests that the enemy has started using newer X-101 missiles.
I can say that both on the 29th and today, X-101 missiles produced in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2023 were used. The 97th series of these missiles is the newest. They came off the assembly line, and they are slightly in a new version, but they are standard X-101 missiles. That is, they continue to produce and have new ones in service. The old ones have apparently run out
The same applies to S-400 ballistic missiles.
"The 400 missiles that were used in December were also produced in the 3rd quarter of last year. 48 series - new bodies, new missiles. We have found them, identified them, and we can say that the enemy is using them," Ruvin added.
Separately, the Director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise noted that the enemy could have used new types of weapons for the latest attacks on Ukraine and Kyiv.
"We have several cases of using munitions that the enemy has not used before. We cannot say for sure yet. We are still checking so as not to mislead the pre-trial investigation authorities and the country's leadership. But this is a very serious weapon that has not been used. Maybe it's some kind of new "Daggers", but we think it's something else. We will say for sure in the near future," Ruvin said.
