In Iskander, Caliber is used Western electronics: experts have found out why

Experts studied the winged missiles, communications systems, and electronic fighting complexes delivered to them from the battlefield. It turned out that, for example, the X-101 missiles and the Iskander missiles depend on the components that the Russian Federation is unable to produce on its own. The report emphasizes that some components were obtained by Russian defense after the 2014 sanctions.

In total, 27 types of weapons were analyzed, which the Armed Forces positions as "the most modern Russian". Experts report that they found 450 species of imported components, most of which were created in the United States. Electronics from the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Taiwan, South Korea, the Netherlands were found.

It was possible to establish that the controlled 9M549 reactive shell for the Tornado-C complex became controlled by the navigation elements from Altera Corporation and Cypress Semiconductor. Both companies are located in the US. Similar accessories were found in the X-59 air-top rocket, in the winged X-101 rocket, the caliber missile, in 2 types of missiles for the Iskander missile complex.

The T72B3 tank, which was most commonly used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, also works through Western electronics. In addition, the components are installed in the Thor-M2, the complexes of HR, the UAV, radio stations. In most cases, it is a microelectronics of so -called double -purpose, that is, it can be used for both military purposes and for equipping household devices. Many components were also classified as "purely household" that are very easy to get.

But there was also an electronics that could not be supplied to the Russian Federation through sanctions. The Rusi notes that some details were imported to Russia after the 2014 sanctions came into force. Experts say that the winged rocket type "caliber" is equipped with electronics 2018 and 2019. They insist that the components were purchased bypassing the law and that a fraudulent scheme can be used. Earlier, we reported that the Russians have created a new modification of the Orion drone.
