Russia's New Izdeliye-30 Missile: Harder to Intercept, More Destructive

• Russia's new Izdeliye-30 cruise missile, unknown to Ukrainian military, flattened a residential building in Kharkiv, killing eleven.
• Developed by Zvezda Design Bureau, it carries an 800-kilogram warhead, twice the payload of its predecessor, the Kh-101.
• The missile has a range of at least 1,500 kilometers and features a jam-resistant satellite navigation system.
• Unlike the Kh-101, the Izdeliye-30 can be launched from frontline tactical aircraft like Su-34, Su-30SM, and Su-35S jets, making it harder to anticipate.
• Ukrainian experts found foreign components from the US, Switzerland, China, and the Netherlands in the missile, with some parts manufactured in 2023.
