Indian Tech Found in Russian Drones as Moscow Sidesteps Sanctions with China, and Global Networks

Ukraine’s intelligence agency has confirmed a major shift in Russian weapon manufacturing: the discovery of an Indian-made component in Iranian-designed Shahed drones used by Moscow. As Western sanctions tighten, Russia is now relying on Chinese, Iranian, and non-Western tech to sustain its military-industrial machine. The majority of electronics found in these drones are no longer American-made. Experts warn that clandestine supply chains — through countries like India, Türkiye, and Kazakhstan — are helping Russia replenish banned components and continue its war efforts with little global accountability. #RussianDrones #IndianTech #ShahedDrones #RussiaUkraineWar #MilitaryComponents #UkraineIntel #ChinaRussiaAlliance #SanctionsBypassed #AuraSemiconductor #WarTechLeak #WeaponSmuggling #DefenseLeaks #KinzhalMissile #IranianDrones #GlobalTradeLoopholes #IndiaRussiaTrade #UkraineIntelFindings #WarTechImports #GeopoliticalRisk #DefenseTechnology ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.344~
