Ukraine says a massive Russian overnight missile and drone barrage was packed with 100,000 foreign-made parts

"A massive Russian strike on Ukraine relied on Western technology, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, claiming that more than 100,000 foreign-made components were found in the drones and missiles used in the overnight attack. He said that Russia fired 496 strike drones and 53 missiles at Ukraine on Sunday night, and there were 102,785 foreign components in them that came from companies in the US, the UK, China, Taiwan, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, and the Netherlands."

"He said there were around 100,688 foreign-made parts in the drones, which included around 250 powerful Shahed-style drones, and around 1,500 foreign-made parts in Russia's Iskander missiles, 192 in its Kinzhal missiles, and 405 in its Kalibr missiles. He said that US companies manufacture multiple products used in some Russian weaponry, including converters used in Russia's Kh-101 missiles and its Shahed-type drones, sensors used by those drones and Kinzhal missiles, analog-to-digital converters used in drones and missiles, and microelectronics used in rockets."
