Foreign Technologies in Russian Missiles
During the presentation, it was established that a significant portion of the parts has foreign origins. Among the manufacturers are companies from Switzerland, Germany, the USA, the United Kingdom, Japan, China, and other countries. Some of these technological elements were produced in 2026, indicating a continuous update of the Russian arsenal with imported parts.
Separately, diplomats were shown boards from the Russian drone “Oreshnik,” which are entirely made from components produced in Russia and Belarus, dated from 2004 to 2014.
“We need to focus and truly stop the supply of parts coming to Russia. This will be a significant blow to the capabilities of Russian defense production,” said the President’s Commissioner for Sanctions Policy Vladislav Vlasuk.
Vladislav Vlasuk also noted the need to strengthen control over Belarus’s access to foreign electronics. Some of the parts found in Russian missiles were manufactured at the Minsk plant “Integral,” including microchips and boards for cruise missiles and the “Oreshnik.”
Deputy Head of the President’s Office Pavlo Palisa called on European partners to more actively implement existing sanctions and accelerate work on new sanction packages.
