Скачать или смотреть Western-made electronics in Russian weapons: what experts find

The Russian Federation continues to circumvent sanctions on technology, allowing it to manufacture weapons and attack Ukraine. The main high-tech component of missiles and drones, without which they could not exist, is not produced in Russia, but in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries.
According to Bloomberg, these are high-tech chips made in the United States and Europe.
On February 21, 2024, ambassadors of the EU member states agreed on the 13th package of sanctions against Russia for its aggression against Ukraine. It will go through a written approval procedure and will be officially adopted on February 24.
Ruvin says that most electronic components are not exclusively for military use, meaning that Russians can actually use even chips from modern household appliances in their military equipment.
"These are really sophisticated components that can be used in computer technology, network communications, the automotive industry, and other industries. Depending on what mission the user chooses for them, how they are programmed and used, they become either lethal in Russian missiles or part of some modern devices. That is, we cannot rule out the possibility that certain goods are imported for one use and end up being used as components of weapons.
There are certain schemes for getting high-tech components into the Russian Federation, despite the sanctions. Russia receives the necessary Western electronics for the manufacture of weapons, in particular, through Turkey, Hong Kong, Morocco, China, and other countries.
According to the UK's Royal United Services Institute, NXP chips were found in 10 of the 27 Russian weapons systems they examined.
Microchips made by the Dutch companies NXP and Nexperia also continue to be smuggled into Russia despite the sanctions. NXP and Nexperia products have been found in Shahed-136, ZALA, PTERO, Eleron-3SV, Kub, Orlan-10, Takhion, Geranium-2, X-101, Iskander, and Russian T-90 tanks.
