Ukrainian intelligence: Russian missile makers use equipment from seven countries
Ukraine's intelligence service listed 30 foreign-made items at Russian arms plants on 26 October. Seventeen of them were made outside China.
Ukraine's intelligence service named 30 foreign-made items used at Russian arms plants on 26 October. The plants produce missiles that Russia uses in its war against Ukraine. The findings point to the dependence of Russian weapons production on technology from abroad.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia's missile makers use equipment from seven countries. Of the 30 items listed, 17 were made outside China, which means the rest are of Chinese origin.
Chinese machines contain parts from other countries
The intelligence service says the Chinese machines themselves run on components made in Europe, Japan and Taiwan. This means the equipment at Russian arms factories includes not only Chinese products but also parts from other countries.
The source material available here does not give details on specific manufacturers, plants or types of equipment, so no further details are confirmed.
