Specialists from Ukraine's Defence Intelligence have shown Ukrainian diplomats foreign-made components used in Russian weaponry.

The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence reported this on 10 August.

The event was attended by Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, his deputies, and Ukrainian ambassadors who represent the country around the world and play an important role in tightening sanctions pressure on Russia.

Testifying to and demonstrating the truth about the use of foreign technology in Russia’s weapons of terror is an important task in monitoring compliance with sanctions.

Most of the electronic components in Russian cruise and ballistic missiles, drones and armoured vehicles are foreign-made.

The aggressor state Russia obtains these components from Europe, Asia and North America in circumvention of international sanctions, using grey schemes and third countries.

Among the samples presented to Ukrainian diplomats were a Jetson Orin microcomputer produced by the American company Nvidia and recovered from Russia’s newest S-71M Monokhrom cruise missile, an inertial module containing components made by the American company Texas Instruments and Japan’s TDK Corp., and dozens of other items.

Defence Intelligence specialists also displayed the aggressor’s weapons of terror — a sample of the Geran-2 attack drone, as well as foreign components from the Russian Geran-Seeker drone and the Bandarol cruise missile.

In total, as of August 2026, military intelligence specialists have identified 5,816 foreign components in 202 Russian weapons systems.

As ArmyInform reported earlier, the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea has notified two archaeologists that they are suspected of an offence under Article 438 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code.
