An Iskander ballistic missile used by Russia to strike the Kyiv region on July 10 contained more than 140 foreign-made components from the United States, Switzerland, Germany, Taiwan, China, and Japan. Without these imported parts, Russia would be unable to manufacture such ballistic missiles.
Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the Ukrainian President's Sanctions Policy Adviser said this while speaking to journalists, as reported by Ukrinform.
"These are fragments of the Iskander missile used in the July 10 strike on the Kyiv region. It was equipped with a cluster warhead. The investigation enabled us to identify its entire component base. The missile contained more than 140 foreign components manufactured in the United States (62), Switzerland (8), Germany (5), Taiwan (4), China (2), and Japan (1), as well as 36 Russian-made and 11 Belarusian-made components," he said.
According to Vlasiuk, the analysis suggests the missile was manufactured recently.
"At least 20 of its components were produced in 2025, which allows us to conclude that the missile itself was also manufactured in 2025," he said.
