Russia's New Filin Cruise Missile Revealed: 1,200 km Range and 35 US-Made Parts

Ukraine's military intelligence identified a Russian cruise missile known as Filin that reportedly entered use against Ukraine in late summer 2026 and has an estimated range of 1,200 kilometers. Analysis of recovered components found 35 items of US origin and 22 of Chinese origin, alongside Russian propulsion and navigation hardware resembling equipment used in other weapons. Investigators published technical information and a model of the missile to document its design and foreign supply dependencies. The reported range and component inventory originate from Ukrainian intelligence analysis, not a Russian manufacturer specification or independent weapons test.
