RF weapons contain over 1000 Western technologies: most of them from the USA

The aggressor country is still finding opportunities for the supply of sanctions and other important components for its military equipment. A joint sanction group of Presidential Office Andriy Yermak and American diplomat Michael McFol conducted a study of most samples of captured or destroyed equipment and missiles of the invaders and found that all the samples contain a lot of Western components, Babel reports, citing a document published.

Critically important components are understood to be processors, chips, transistors, voltage regulators, capacitors, receivers, etc. According to the results of the study, it turned out that in Russian weapons and equipment there are 1057 components that are under sanctions, which today make 155 Western companies. Their lion's share belongs to American companies.

As a result, it turns out that, despite the entire sanction pressure of Russia, it is possible to obtain the necessary components for its weapons. The document provides a study of the Russian missile X-101, through which 11 Ukrainians were killed in the mid-June in Kryvyi Rih, among whom the child was traveled to the ammunition into a dwelling house. This rocket contained 53 critical components produced in the West.

Starting in April 2022, the Yermak-Macfola group studied the following types of Russian weapons that remained in the battles in Ukraine: according to the expert group, most components are produced and Korean Samsung. Speaking of financial benefits, for example, only the Intel 2022 received more than $ 700 million from the sales of these components in the Russian Federation. Of course, none of the companies specifically supplies sanctions for Russian "soldiers".

All this falls into Russia through a complex network of intermediary countries and the firms registered in them. Unfortunately, companies can not always carefully track where the chips or chips will be redirected, purchased, for example, by the UAE or China. If you judge the schemes of deliveries that have been able to find out the sanction group of Yermak-Macfola, then the leading transport hubs for shadow supplies to the Russian Federation are China, UAE, Turkey and Hong Kong.

According to the study of such critical foreign components last year, $ 2. 9 billion was counted in Russian weapons. Experts say that, unfortunately, despite the sanctions, the import of critical components for Russian weapons returned to the sanction level. Although each Western corporation sincerely assures that it is trying to check all the companies that buy their products, obviously, this control is clearly not enough to prevent the export of sanctions chip and chips to Russia.
