NPO Mashinostroyeniya/3M22 Zircon

Oleksandr Ruvin, director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Examinations, said markings on wreckage showed Russia used a 3M22 Zircon in the 7 February 2024 attack on Kyiv, the first identified combat use of the missile. He said it does not meet the performance Russia claims for it.

• Parts carried 3M22, 3L22 and 3B22 markings.
• Component markings point to production in late 2023 or early 2024.
• Russia claims Mach 8-9; Ukrainian experts dispute it.
