Open questions
What has not been published about the 3M22 Zircon, and where the available evidence points: measurements from published photos, the physics, the parts its relatives carry, and the trade in the parts themselves. An indication is not a confirmation. Each one shows how it was reached; last reviewed 2026-10-23.
Also not yet established
- Protective fairing with orientation system engines of the 3M22 Zircon: what type is it, and who makes it? — A photo or teardown record of the protective fairing with orientation system engines showing a marking, a maker's label or a model name.
Also reported
- Steering actuators — 3B915 electro-hydraulic steering units by TsNIIAG driving folding aerodynamic control surfaces; the whole tail section is titanium source
- Protective fairing — Nose fairing carrying small orientation thrusters for initial course alignment, jettisoned after launch source
- US-origin FPGA — Altera Cyclone II EP2C5T144I8N field-programmable gate array (Altera, now Intel), United States source
- Component markings (first combat debris) — Kyiv forensic institute found fragments laser-engraved "3L22", steering-mechanism bolts marked "26" and production dates of late 2023–2024 on debris from the 7 February 2024 strike; some boards were hand-assembled source
