The director of the Kyiv Research Institute, Oleksandr Ruvin, previously reported that Russian X-101 missiles used by the enemy to strike Ukraine already use certain modifications.

 "According to the first results, we can see that the strategic cruise missile of the X-101 type has certain modifications and passive jammers, and dipole reflectors are fired. Most of the element base is heavily damaged, with almost all microelectronics physically destroyed. At the same time, the markings of some identified elements of the X-101 missiles indicate that they were manufactured in the 3-4 quarter of 2023. We can probably conclude that this means that the enemy does not have significant stocks of this type of weapon, and after production, they are immediately transferred to combat missions," Ruvin said.
