Freshly-made Russian Kh-101 missiles contain about 30 foreign chips

Yermak wrote about this on Telegram.

He noted that the missiles that Russian forces fired at Ukraine on the night of August 15 were manufactured this year in April. According to Yermak, about 30 foreign chips were found in the Kh-101 missiles.  

"We are collecting information, we are working with our partners, and we communicate with them regularly. Our partner governments are also working with chip manufacturers and suppliers," he said.

The Head of the President's Office stressed the need to strengthen sanctions against Russia.

"Restrictions have already been imposed, but sanctions need to be strengthened so that Russia cannot receive critical components and manufacture missiles. Yermak-McFaul International Expert Group is providing relevant proposals," Yermak added.
