Experts from the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise have found that the russian X-69 missiles used by the occupiers to hit Ukraine are made of several types of weapons and have foreign components. This was stated by the head of the military research laboratory Andriy Kulchytskyi, UNN reports.
The russians assembled the missile on the basis of what they had available - Iskander, Iskanderk-K, Caliber, X-101. They assembled all the elements, made a modern body, worked with navigation equipment, and the following missile appeared
Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise studies russian weapons used by the occupiers against Ukraine. The experts are studying missiles and attack UAVs in particular, so the X-69 missiles are no exception. It was with these missiles that the russians struck from the Black Sea in Odesa region on the night of November 5. These missiles were also used by the enemy in Kyiv and in April struck the Tripoli thermal power plant.

The X-69 missile is an improved version of the X-59. Its warhead weighs 300 kg. It is launched not from strategic aircraft, but from Sukhoi aircraft, and its range is almost 400 km.
The X-69 is extremely dangerous because it flies at low altitude and at a high speed of about 800 km/h. However, the Ukrainian military still manages to shoot down these missiles.
