Ukraine Unveils 3D Breakdown of Russia’s S-71K Cruise Missile Built With Foreign Electronics

The disclosure spotlights sanctions gaps by tracing the missile’s parts to suppliers in seven countries.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s military intelligence published an interactive 3D model of the S-71K on Monday, laying out its design and full parts list.
  • The assessment says most electronic components come from the United States, China, Switzerland, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, and Ireland, highlighting export-control loopholes.
  • GUR details a 250 kilogram OFAB-250-270 warhead, an R500 turbojet from Reynolds LLC, and an estimated range of about 300 kilometers.
  • The missile was developed by United Aircraft Corporation for the Su-57 and first saw use in late 2025, creating a standoff threat that shortens Ukraine’s time to respond.
  • Ukraine urged tighter sanctions and export checks and said Russia is considering future use of the missile from the S-70 Okhotnik combat drone.
