Ukraine says Russian missile that hit government building is packed with US and European parts

Source: CNN

A Russian cruise missile that hit a government building in central Kyiv on Sunday was filled with dozens of foreign parts, including chips and other electronic components made in the United States, Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday.

Vlasiuk released photographs of the damaged missile, as well as a list of components that have been previously found in identical missiles.

The list includes 35 parts manufactured by American companies, including Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Altera and others, as well as components made by Japanese, British and Swiss companies.

Serial numbers show that some of these parts were manufactured years ago, but some are listed as having been made recently, including after the start of Russia’s unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

There was trade in military between Russia, their Warsaw Bloq and the west. They made precision gears for nuclear subs. An American firm near my childhood home, Consarc (owned by Mr Rowan) made missile tips for the Soviets.

...there will always be people willing to get paid who manufacture this stuff and then look away when they get fenced.
