Russian rocket “Кинжал”: ГУР published 3D model and information about the components
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense has published an interactive 3D model, information about the components and enterprises of the cooperation of the Russian 9-C-7760, better known as X-47M2 “Кинжал”.
Information is available on the portal War & Sanctions.
“Кинжал” is a single-stage solid-fuel rocket with an integrated warhead. By components, the rocket on 90% is unified with the ballistic 9M723 ОТРК “Искандер-М”.
To the main differences “кинжалу” include the presence of a tail aerodynamic fairing, which is separated after the engine starts, radar homing head (in Iskander) АРГСН currently exists only on paper, and its use in strikes on the territory of Ukraine is not recorded), which the enemy calls “всепогодною”, and stations of active obstacles, in addition to the system of firing false targets C-200.
“Кинжал” has two types of combat units - penetrating high-explosive PrFBCH in a thick metal body for breaking through ceilings, concrete and protected structures, and a special nuclear one.
Currently, the enemy is working on a modification with a fragmentation and high-explosive combat unit (FTO).ОФБЧ). Such changes can be directly related to problems with the accuracy of the missile, because high accuracy is more important for penetrating БЧ. It is because of this that 2026 The enemy significantly reduced the volume of state defense orders for these missiles, directing the production capacity, component and raw material base for the production of ballistic missiles. 9M723 “Искандер-М”.
The second reason for this prioritization is the limited resource carriers “кинжалів” - interceptor MiG-31I and their predecessors MiG-31K, which the Russian aviation industry currently does not produce.
ГУР also published 58 data of Russian enterprises involved in cooperation in the production of “кинжалів”. 22 of them are still not under sanctions of any of the countries of the sanctions coalition.
“Despite certain shortcomings, Russia continues to work on the modernization of “кинжалів”. And to prevent the plans of the aggressor, it is necessary to synchronize sanctions against all enterprises involved and strengthen control over the technologies that are actively used by the Russian Federation,” the press release says.
