Details: Teams and independent investigators from Ukraine and abroad identified Okuma (Japan) and Hision (China) machining centres on the production line of universal gliding and correction modules for aerial bombs manufactured by the Russian corporation Tactical Missile Armament.

They also discovered that JSC Burevestnik produces stabilisers for mortar rounds using a Performa vertical machining centre manufactured by the Taiwanese company AKIRA SEIKI.

Additionally, investigators identified Russian companies which, already after the start of the full-scale invasion, supplied the Votkinsk Plant – producer of Iskander and Oreshnik missiles – with Chinese KEDE and WMT machines, as well as ECOM VL-12i milling machining centres from Taiwan.

"The data obtained are already being used to develop sanctions initiatives and to limit the production capacity of the Russian military industrial base," DIU noted.

Background: Defence Intelligence of Ukraine presented a 3D model of the Russian Orion drone and information on 43 companies involved in its production. Earlier, Defence Intelligence of Ukraine published information on 68 foreign components in missiles and drones used by Russia against Ukraine.
