The rocket components are manufactured by the Minsk-based Integral and Transistor plants.
Ukrainian experts analyzed the debris from Russian “Oreshnik” missiles following the attacks on Dnipro in November 2024 and on Lviv in January 2026. They were able to determine who manufactures the electronic components for the medium-range ballistic missile.
This is is stated in the study “What is Oreshnik Made Of? Russia’s Most Domestic Missile Yet” by the Independent Anti-Corruption Commission (NAKO).
Who manufactures the “Oreshnik”?
During the study, experts were able to identify approximately 470 electronic components manufactured by 25 confirmed companies in Russia and Belarus. The report mentions four additional manufacturers, but it has not yet been definitively confirmed whether they are involved in missile production.
Most of the identified components were manufactured between 2014 and 2018.
For the most part, modern Russian precision-guided weapons rely on Western microelectronics. However, the “Oreshnik” is primarily equipped with components manufactured in Russia and Belarus, experts noted. In their view, Russia is thus seeking to reduce its dependence on imports. However, it is not yet fully self-sufficient in this regard.
According to published data, 62% of the identified manufacturers are subject to international sanctions. At the same time, 93% of the companies are subject to Ukrainian sanctions.
Where are the companies located?
Most of the identified enterprises are located in Moscow, Zelenograd, the Moscow Region, Voronezh, Kaluga, Orel, Bryansk, Ryazan, Penza, and other cities, including some in Belarus.
Some of the manufacturers are part of the state-owned corporations “Rostec,” “Roselectronica,” or “Roscosmos.”
As for cooperation with Belarus, it is known that the holding company “Integral” and its subsidiary plant “Transistor” in Minsk manufactured diode assemblies and integrated circuits for the rocket in 2014–2015. They are subordinate to the Belarusian Ministry of Industry and are among the largest manufacturers of microelectronics in the country.
Analysts argue that sanctions should target not only manufacturers of finished missiles but also all participants in the production chain. And tightening restrictions on these companies could slow the development of Russian missile programs.
