US components have almost disappeared from Russian "Shahed" EW protection - DIU of MoD. INFOGRAPHICS
The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has released data on nearly 200 parts and components used in six types of Russian weapons.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the DIU telegram channel.
"Among them are the CRP antenna of the Russian 'Shahed', the North Korean KN-24 ballistic missile, the computer from the Kh-47 'Kindzhal' missile, and the 'Supercam S350', 'Gerbera', and Zala drones. Only two US-made chips were found in the new CRP antennas for the 'Geranium-2' drone. This is evidence of Russia's attempts to reduce its dependence on components from countries that have imposed sanctions against it," the statement said.
Earlier, the DIU MoD reported that new jamming antennas with Chinese language labelling appeared in the Shaheds used in 2025. In one of these antennas, out of 15 components, only two are made by the American companies Texas Instruments and Linear Technologies.
"Most of the other parts are made in China. These are transceivers, generators, signal converters and other chips. For example, the main chip of the CRP antenna, which analyses incoming signals and decides which ones to ignore, is made by the Beijing Microelectronics Technology Institute (BMTI)," the DIU said.
In addition, for the first time, a component made in India - a clock buffer from Aura Semiconductor - was found in Russian weapons.
The manufacturers of two other components have not yet been identified, but they are likely to be of Chinese origin.
In total, the "Components in Weapons" section of the War&Sanctions portal has already recorded 4672 parts found in 164 weapons used by Russia against Ukraine.
