Vlasiuk released photographs of the damaged missile, as well as a list of components that have been previously found in identical missiles.
The list includes 35 parts manufactured by American companies, including Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Altera and others, as well as components made by Japanese, British and Swiss companies.
Serial numbers show that some of these parts were manufactured years ago, but some are listed as having been made recently, including after the start of Russias unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
