18.11.2024
 
COMPONENTS IN WEAPONS:
The Gerbera UAV is one of the vehicles that imitates the Shahed-136/Geran-2 and is widely used by russia to overload Ukrainian air defences. In addition, the Gerbera can carry a combat unit as a kamikaze UAV and conduct electronic reconnaissance (e.g., detecting air defence positions, fixing hits on the target by other UAVs). The Gerbera is assembled in Alabuga, russia, based on a prototype developed by the Chinese company Skywalker Technology Co., Ltd, and from kits supplied by it.
Due to the use of simple materials (plywood, foam), Gerbera is ten times cheaper than Geran, but contains the usual set of components from foreign manufacturers.
To date, 28 foreign-made electronic components identified in Gerbera have been published - from the US, China, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany and Taiwan.
Additionally, the engines manufactured by the Chinese company Mile Hao Xiang Technology Co, Ltd, from the Gerbera and Parodya UAVs have been published.

TOOLS OF WAR:
21 pieces of equipment from European, Swiss, Taiwanese, American and Canadian manufacturers used by russian defence industry enterprises, including:
• 711 aircraft repair plants specialising in the repair of aircraft missile weapons;
• Scientific Research Institute of Physical Measurements, which, among other things, is a developer and manufacturer of pressure sensors for the TRDD-50A engine of cruise missiles Kh-101 and Kh-59.

UAV "Parodya" - components of the fake target with which russia is trying to overload Ukrainian air defence have been published. All W&S sections have been updated.
11.11.2024
 
COMPONENTS IN WEAPONS:
Around half of the UAVs used by russia against Ukraine are decoys and fake targets to distract and overwhelm Ukrainian air defences.
Among the main such UAVs are 'Parodya' drones, which are much smaller and cheaper than "shaheds" and have no warhead. However, thanks to the ‘Luneberg lens’, they radar imitate Shahed-136/Geran-2, diverting Ukrainian air defence fire to themselves.
Luneberg`s effect, invented in the first half of the last century by German-American scientist Rudolf Lüneberg, is widely used to make flying targets for aviation.
Today, 11 foreign-made electronic components - from China, the USA, Switzerland and Taiwan - from the 'Parodya' flight control module have been published.
Additionally, four new components of the North Korean KN-23/KN-24 ballistic missile were published.

Russia had only four prototypes of the S-70 ‘Hunter’ worth about $15 million each. And the electronic component base of one of them is already on the War & Sanctions portal.
Manufacturers of identified components and the entire civilised world should take measures to block the supply of technology for the russian ‘death machine’.

28.10.2024
 
In the section "Marine vessels" the "Captains" tab is open with the identification data of more than three dozen ship captains involved in the export of stolen Ukrainian grain from the temporarily occupied territories.
 
Captains, as the most important persons on board a ship, are responsible for the cargo and its safety. According to the ship's documents (bills of lading), the captain has all the information about the cargo and its owner. It is the captains who, in violation of international law and the SOLAS Convention, disable and manipulate the AIS system, carry out STS transmissions with sanctioned vessels and cargo, escort vessels to closed ports of sanctioned countries, the TOT of Ukraine, enter inaccurate information in the log of routes, vessel berths, etc.
 
They can refuse to commit illegal acts, but they choose to make money on war and suffering.
By revealing their names, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine reminds that responsibility and punishment will catch up with everyone.
 
The next are captains of vessels transporting weapons for russia, fossil fuels and other goods through international waters and straits in violation of sanctions restrictions.
