50 units of foreign technological equipment now employed by Russian enterprises to manufacture weapons and military hardware, Ukrainian Military Intelligence (HUR) wrote on Jan. 14.
The War&Sanctions portal identified the equipment used by the aggressor:
-
Waterjet cutting systems made by Czech company PTV, used by enterprises involved in producing naval and coastal radar systems, equipment for Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces, and security systems for military facilities
-
A JVM-360LS CNC milling machine by U.S. manufacturer JET Tools, used to produce components for Kh-101 cruise missiles
Ad -
A Chinese TAYU TY-200S injection molding machine, used by a Russian producer of guidance systems, targeting devices, and 24/7 reconnaissance complexes.
The Tools of War section of the War&Sanctions portal contains data on 1,454 units of foreign equipment used by 181 Russian defense industry enterprises.
HUR noted that Russian defense manufacturers actively rely on leasing schemes to obtain foreign equipment instead of purchasing it directly.
“This practice in some cases allows the end user to be concealed and serves as a tool for circumventing sanctions restrictions,” the statement said.
Among all foreign components found in Russian weapons by Ukrainian specialists, parts of U.S. origin remain the most common, HUR added.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
