Ukraine Says U.S. Chips Outnumber Chinese Components in Russian Missiles

Ukraine says U.S.-made chips are more common than Chinese components in Russian missiles, highlighting possible gaps in export controls and sanctions enforcement. Ukrainian officials claim Western-made electronics continue reaching Russia through intermediaries, parallel imports, or complex international supply chains. The allegation could prompt scrutiny of manufacturers, distributors, and countries accused of enabling the trade. U.S., Chinese, and Russian officials may dispute the assessment, while investigators examine recovered missile components to determine their origins and how they entered Russia during production.
