China illegally sells Russian drones for war with Ukraine: Researchers have revealed schemes
Meanwhile, China states that they do not supply drones to the Russian Federation. In order to clarify the situation, researchers began to work with the Russian register of certificates of conformity. "When people bring drones to Russia, they must receive a license. This register had about 50 companies that have an IFLIGHT Certificate - a manufacturer of drones Mavic (DJI, ed. )," - explained Artem Staros.
He said that China was using a portload scheme in ports to deliver unmanned aerial vehicles to Russian buyers. Chinese manufacturers and realizers claim that these drones are being sent to the United States, but soon after arrival ships are detached from the US shores and throw UAVs to other vessels that go to Russia. The CEO of the intelligence agency also told what is happening with unmanned aircraft when they arrive in Russian ports.
According to him, most companies that have the right to import drones in the Russian Federation have opened training centers in its territory. They cooperate with Rosgvardia and teach security forces how to manage the devices. "There is a school that is located in the Wagner PEC in St. Petersburg. They write that they teach pilots to fly on Dji Mavic drones to kill Ukrainians," Artem Starosek said.
Earlier, foreign media wrote that China plans to deepen trade relations with the Russian Federation, despite the disapproval of the event. According to journalists, Russia is under Western sanctions, so Moscow is based on its ally Beijing in economic support, using Chinese demand for oil and gas, as well as grain. And in early September it became known that the Chinese analogue ShahED-136 was tested.
