Russia has become too dependent on its allies: this could turn out very unpleasantly for the Kremlin Anzhelika Galesevich

Russia is becoming increasingly dependent on other countries. Chinese components have begun to appear in Iranian Shaheds and UMPK modules. The use of North Korean self-propelled guns and ammunition has become more frequent at the front. And even “modern” Russian missiles contain Western components supplied through third countries.

Every month, Russia is filling an ever-larger “Achilles heel”, against which there are methods of counteraction. Deputy CEO of the company producing electronic warfare and aviation expert Anatoly Khrapchinsky told 24 Kanal about this, emphasizing that it is necessary to hit production capacities, because almost all large-unit assembly takes place on Russian territory.

In which Russian weapons have Chinese components started to appear

Khrapchinsky said that Russia uses Chinese servo drives in planning and correction modules for guided aerial bombs. This is precisely evidence of problems in Russian production capacities.

More and more Chinese components are appearing in Iranian “Shaheds”. That is, Russia is beginning to depend on China in many areas, he added.

Even if we talk about “modern” Russian missiles, they are made from a large number of Western components. Of course, the Russians pass off some components as their own. For example, the KOMDIV-64 processor, the name of which they simply redrawn.

Since about 2010, Russia has been using Western components, but has said that they were allegedly its own developments, the aviation expert noted.

Which countries help Russia obtain Western components

Russia has a limited number of intellectual capabilities for producing weapons. The aggressor country is significantly dependent on other countries: North Korean missiles are increasingly flying to Ukraine, and even self-propelled guns and artillery shells are delivered to the occupiers from the DPRK.

The number of Western and Chinese components is growing every year – this is the “Achilles heel”. And there is counteraction against it – weapons of destruction directly at factories, production facilities of Russia, – noted Anatoly Khrapchinsky.

Since large-unit assembly of UMPK and Shahed modules or creation of drone imitators takes place on Russian territory from Chinese or Western components, which the enemy receives through third countries.

The same Kazakhstan is actively helping the Russians to obtain Rohde & Schwarz components for the production of electronic warfare systems. Belarus at one time actively purchased microcircuits for further transfer to Russia. It is also worth recalling the investigation by “Schemes”, when the Baltic countries supplied components for Sukhoi Superjet aircraft.

“While the West is imposing sanctions against the shadow fleet, Ukraine is striking at the ports where the shadow fleet is located. Therefore, the most effective thing for us to do would be to destroy production facilities, any attempts by Russia to do something,” stated the deputy general director of the electronic warfare company.
