Russia would go through companies abroad
On a reconnaissance drone shot down in January and manufactured in 2023, there is a French sensor. Its manufacturer, Lynred, blames Russian intermediaries and claims to have sold this sensor to a non-Russian customer. Chips intended for civilian use can be used for military purposes. To circumvent the embargo, Russia uses companies established in China, Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan, according to the director of the kyiv military research laboratory.
