Russia's new cruise missile is full of Western-made parts, Ukrainian intel says
"Maintaining access to foreign technologies and components allows the aggressor state to develop new means of destruction and scale their application in the war against Ukraine."
"Despite widespread global sanctions, Western technology still finds its way into the products of Russia's defense industry through civilian markets, states that sidestep export rules, or middlemen."
A Ukrainian intelligence assessment reveals that Russia's S-71K 'Kovyor' cruise missile contains electronic components from various Western countries, including the US and Germany. Despite sanctions, critical technologies continue to reach Russia's defense sector through civilian markets and middlemen. Ukraine's military intelligence agency emphasizes the need for the international community to further isolate Moscow. The ongoing access to foreign technologies enables Russia to enhance its military capabilities in the conflict against Ukraine, posing significant challenges for Western sanctions enforcement.
