China has repeatedly denied providing Russian military equipment for military operations against Ukraine. However, an adviser to the Ukrainian president’s office said on the 14th that more and more Chinese components were found in Russian weapons found on the battlefield by the Ukrainian army.
“Archyde.com” reported on the 14th that Vladyslav Vlasiuk, a sanctions policy adviser to the Ukrainian President’s chief of staff, told Archyde.com via video, “We continue to find different electronic components in weapons recovered from the battlefield. “, “The trend now is that there are fewer components made in the West, but more, it is not difficult to guess which country, of course, components made in China.”

Ukrainian experts revealed to Archyde.com that information collected from the battlefield showed that the Russian “Orlan” UAV navigation system, which used the Swiss system, now uses Chinese-made components. In addition, Russian tank fire control systems were also found Chinese parts, before using French parts.

Vlasuk named some Chinese companies: China Ordnance Industry Corporation (Norinco), China Xinxing Guangzhou Import and Export Corporation, but he did not say what items these companies supplied.

Asked by Archyde.com whether Chinese companies have provided Russian military hardware parts, the Chinese Foreign Ministry stated that China has been conducting normal trade cooperation with all countries, including Russia, on the basis of equality and reciprocity. And a responsible attitude, China’s position and actions have always been the same.”
