The best Russian weapons used in Ukraine contains low -technological components - NYT
Video Day Researchers who studied the electronics of new Russian winged missiles and shock helicopters were surprised to find that they used technologies of ten years ago from early models. “Weapons are the best in the Russian arsenal. But it contained quite low -technological components, according to analysts who investigated them, in particular a unique but basic satellite navigation system, which was also detected in another military equipment, ”the newspaper writes.
The Conflict Armament Research Research Group studied Russian equipment in July at the invitation of the Government of Ukraine. Researchers have also found that Russia uses in Ukraine is often based on Western innovations, despite the sanctions imposed in 2014. "The Russian managed weapons are full of non -Russian technologies and components, and most of the computer chips documented by us were made by Western countries after 2014," said researcher Demyen Splitters.
As Russia received these details, it is not clear, writes the publication. Researchers found that Russian engineers used certain semiconductors of specific Western manufacturers not only in ammunition but also in reconnaissance drones, communications equipment, avionica for helicopters and other military goods.
Researchers have studied the remnants of three types of Russian winged missiles, including the latest and most sophisticated X-101 model, as well as the latest controlled Tornado-C missile. All of them contained identical components with the marking SN-99, which were satellite navigation receivers necessary for the flight of rockets. According to Splitters, the use of the same components by Russia shows narrow places in its chain of deliveries.
