What was found in the downed Russian UAV S-70 'Okhotnik'? Details from the GUR.
According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, the Russian unmanned aerial vehicle S-70 'Okhotnik', which was shot down in Donetsk region, had components manufactured by Western companies. In particular, microelectronics and other technological components from companies in the USA, Germany, and Switzerland were found in it.
The GUR reports that Russia has four prototypes of the S-70 UAV, and their cost is about 15 million dollars. It is important to note that these UAVs are used for dropping aviation bombs on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure.
Recently, components made by Western companies were also found in missiles supplied by North Korea to Russia for attacks on Ukraine. This prompted Ukraine to demand increased sanctions against the Russian Federation and North Korea.
