However, the result of use of X-101 missiles by the occupiers during combat actions in Ukraine refuted their claimed effectiveness.
That is becouse of the fact that the electronic components turned out to be very far from modern.
The analysis of X-55 cruise missile (NATO code:AS-15 "Kent") guidance and navigation systems, as well as their modifications X-555 and X-101 conducted by Ukrainian experts showed that "modern" guidance units were developed in 1960-1970 and produced by the Voronezh Radio Parts Plant, Minsk plant "Integral" and other enterprises of the Soviet Union.
Also, the "newest" missiles use the navigation system "PGI-2M". Developed in 1977, it was mass-installed on Su-27 or MiG-29 aircraft of the Soviet period.
The majority of the X-101 missiles fired through Ukraine did not hit the targets.
"Modern" Russian cruise missiles are equipped with electronics developed in the 60s of last century but according to the russia’s propaganda they are the best in the World. Were the truth is Ukraine and its defenders show the World for 58 days of War Between Ukraine and russian federation.
Reminder by Defense Express:
Attacking Ukraine, Russia is exhausting its stocks of missiles. Its military-industrial complex has to work 24/7 to replenish them. The sanctions imposed on Russia severely undermine its capacities in this regard.
Over 20 Russian military enterprises were forced to suspend their activities in whole or in part due to shortage of parts and components, as well as rising prices due to sanctions, including the research and production enterprise "Vimpel" (production of aircraft missiles) and the only Russian tank company "Uralvagonzavod".
