On the night of July 2, the Russian army attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles containing 35 000 foreign components.
This was reported by the Presidential Commissioner for Sanctions Policy of Ukraine Vladyslav Vlasyuk.
It is about components manufactured by the following companies:
- American companies — Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Intel and AMD;
- European companies — STMicroelectronics, Infineon, NXP (an independent firm headquartered in the Netherlands) and Bosch;
- Japanese companies — Murata and Toshiba.
The weapon also contains components from the British company Raspberry, Chinese firms, and others.
According to Vlasyuk, the Russians purchase components through intermediaries. At the same time, he added: there is also a result of sanctions and export controls — the Russians can no longer buy many parts for weapons.
