The Russian Federation claims that the X-101 has exclusively Russian components, but in the wreckage of the rocket, chips were issued by the US company. Western components were discovered in the winged X-101, launched by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. This was reported by the Border 91 Telegram channel on September 15.

It is reported that to create the X-101 rocket, the Russians used chips of the American company "Xilinx, Inc", which is one of the largest manufacturers of software logical devices. In 2020, "Xilinx, Inc" was purchased by the American company "AMD, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ". According to the authors of the post, the "Virtex-6 XC6VLX240T FT1156AGW" chips, which were found in the remains of missiles launched by the territory of Ukraine, have markings "Xilinx, Taiwan".

"The payment in the new X-101 missiles is used in the SP 504-01 block. The taller system is controlled by the release of dipole reflectors when establishing the fact of radiation, which affects the combat efficiency of weapons," the publication reads. At the same time, the Russian Federation claims that the X-101 missile consists exclusively of Russian components, unlike previous generations of these missiles.

The fact that X-101 contains not only the Russian components, earlier reported by OP OP Andriy Yermak. According to him, on August 15, the invaders fired at Ukraine rockets produced in 2023, which revealed about 30 foreign chips. We will remind, on August 31 the US Justice Department reported the arrest of a citizen of Russia, who illegally exported to the Russian Federation of microelectronics of American origin. The Russian was detained in Cyprus.
