Russia receives the necessary components bypassing sanctions. Deliveries are made via third countries such as China, Turkey or the United Arab Emirates. Customs data is falsified so that the parts are supposedly imported for civilian purposes but are then redirected to the military sector.
Media reports that Russia is buying refrigerators and washing machines in large quantities just to get microchips.
Ukrainians have found hundreds of chips from the American company “Analog Devices” in the Iranian-made drones “Shahed” and “Mohayer”, the Russian-made unmanned aerial vehicles “Lancet”, the ballistic missiles “Iskander”, “Kinzhal” and cruise missiles. Kalibr” and other weapon systems.
This particular chip was in the Kalibr rocket. The company that once imported such devices to Russia was “Eltekh Komponent”. Until the end of last year, it belonged to Andrejas Peregudas, who lives in Latvia.
He claims to “The Insider” that no microchips from “Analog Devices” have been imported into Russia since 2019.
Data from the customs database “ImportGenius” shows that the company continued to do so until March 1, 2022.
Nicholas Smith, representative of Analog Devices, says: “Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and in accordance with US and EU sanctions, Analog Devices suspended its operations in Russia and the Russian-supported regions of Ukraine and Belarus and expelled all of our Distributors immediately to stop shipping our products to these regions.
Any post-sanctions shipment to these regions is a direct violation of our policies and is the result of the unauthorized resale or diversion of Analog Devices products.”
“The Insider” writes that the chips are now arriving in Russia via the Chinese company “Win Key Limited”. Peregud denies involvement in the plan.
