Belarusian components and electronic parts manufactured before 2017 were found in the wreckage of the Russian Oreshnik missile.
Key points:
- The Oreshnik missile, used in an attack on the Lviv region, contains components of ancient origin – from 2014 to 2016.
- It was revealed that the Russian missile is built on the basis of existing Soviet or Russian systems with technological modifications.
“Brand New” “Oreshnik” Contains 12-Year-Old Components
Ukrainian experts examined the surviving wreckage of the Russian ballistic missile Oreshnik and presented them at a briefing.
Specialists managed to examine the fragments of the missile with which Russia struck the Lviv region on the night of January 8-9, 2026.
A part of the missile’s body detached during flight and did not burn up, allowing for a detailed study of its components.
In particular, the processor unit and the main computer board, which control flight and transmit signals to the rudders and engines, survived.

The Oreshnik missile, used to attack the Lviv region, did not have new components.
This refutes the claims of the Russian side that this weapon is a fundamentally new development.
In fact, the missile is a product of deep modernization of existing Soviet or Russian missile systems, into the design of which certain technological changes have been introduced.
“Oreshnik” Components
All printed circuit boards and microchips found inside the processor unit were manufactured between 2014 and 2016.
Unlike Russian drones, which are increasingly found to contain modern foreign components manufactured in 2024-2025, no new American, Chinese, or European parts were found in this missile.
All discovered electronic components are exclusively of Russian and Belarusian origin.

Specifically, elements manufactured by the Minsk plant “Integral” were found on the boards.
“Integral,” a Belarusian microelectronics enterprise founded in Minsk, produces integrated circuits, semiconductor devices, and electronic components for industry, telecommunications, and military equipment.
The main part of the electronic base is manufactured at enterprises in Moscow and the Moscow region.
