The carburettor, as well as hundreds of other parts, are made in Western and Asian countries. Russians often erase serial numbers in foreign components. In the second photo, you can see a part with a rubbed off serial number."

 
 

Details: Yermak added that if the new Shaheds and missiles now have Western or Asian components, there are not enough restrictions. According to him, new sanctions are needed, as well as effective implementation and control.

Background:

The Russians attacked the southern oblasts of Ukraine overnight. Ukrainian air defence forces destroyed 6 Kalibr missiles launched from the sea towards Odesa, as well as 21 Shahed drones in Odesa Oblast and 4 more over Mykolaiv Oblast. One man was wounded in these attacks.
