Evidence of Western components in Russian Shahed drones presented at Warsaw Security Forum

NAKO representative Yulia Behletsova spoke about this in a comment to Ukrinform. According to her, the main goal of the exhibition is to clearly demonstrate to the international community that, despite the sanctions imposed, critically important Western-made microelectronics continue to find their way into the Russian military-industrial complex. “We are displaying control units from ‘ Shahed ’ drones. Unfortunately, microelectronics from the U.S., Germany, Japan, and Taiwan—which are dual-use goods—are still ending up in Russian weapons. The flow of these components continues unabated, as Russia constantly finds new intermediaries to circumvent sanctions,” Behletsova noted.
