The Russian Federation uses low -technological elements in its best weapons - NYT (photo)

At the invitation of the Ukrainian Government, an independent British group of Conflict Armament Research, together with SBU staff, studied Russian equipment in July, writes the American edition of The New York Times. The analyst report refutes the Russian Federation's statements about the army rebuilt inside the country, which can again compete with the armed forces of its Western opponents.

However, it is also known that Russian weapons are often created on Western components, despite the sanctions that have been in force since 2014. "We have seen that Russia reuse the same electronic components in different types of weapons, including its latest winged missiles and shock helicopters, and we did not expect to see it. The Russian controlled weapons are filled with non Justice chips were made by Western countries after 2014, "the report said.

Investigators analyzed the remains of three types of Russian winged missiles, in particular, the latest X-101 and a controlled Tornado-C missile. They all contained identical components with the marking SN-99. Russia's use of the same components indicates narrow places in its supply chain, and limiting the supply of such components will slow down Moscow's ability to replenish its reserves of managed weapons.

The report also stated that a sharp difference between the Russian Higher Class Weapons and the fact that the Armed Forces received from the United States was revealed. It is emphasized that the investigators were shocked by the indifference of the Russian Federation to the fact that in its arsenal there is a lot of weapons, which the enemy can potentially convince. "This is the level of technology of the late 1990s or mid-2000s at best.

In fact, it is the equivalent of the Xbox 360 game console, and it seems to be open to anyone who wants to disassemble it and collect their own copy," the contractor said NASA Arsenio Mendes. According to him, the set of parts that Russia uses to create its managed weapon can also help explain why its winged missiles are sometimes not very accurate. We will remind, on September 1, Focus wrote that the Russian Federation will not be able to buy powerful chips because of US sanctions.
