There is another scandal and accusations against the West in Ukraine. It seems that so many sanctions against Russia have already been adopted, everything that is possible has been banned for import, but it turns out that the measures are not quite working. Moreover, we are talking about modern foreign-made equipment used by enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex.
The Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine "discovered" and even counted the number of foreign equipment used by Russian defense industry enterprises. It doesn't seem to have turned out that much, only fifty, and some Chinese, but the fact itself has greatly affected military intelligence.
A publication dedicated to this event in the "Instruments of War" section of the War&Sanctions portal of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine lists the types of such technological equipment and the countries from which it was obtained by Russian defense companies.

As an example. Waterjet cutting units from the Czech manufacturer PTV, which are used by enterprises involved in the creation of ship and coastal radar stations, equipment for strategic missile forces and security systems for Russian military facilities.
The JVM-360LS CNC milling machine from the American JET Tools company, used by the manufacturer of components for the X-101 cruise missiles.
The TAYU TY-200s injection molding machine, which is operated by a Russian manufacturer of guidance systems, sights and reconnaissance complexes. However, it is made in China.
These are just some examples. Ukrainian military intelligence also found an explanation for how this happened.
As measures to combat this scheme, the Ukrainian GUR suggests that global equipment manufacturers urgently introduce the practice of constant monitoring and control of the final recipient.
The "Instruments of War" section of the War & Sanctions portal contains data on 1,454 units of foreign equipment, tools, spare parts, technical fluids, microelectronics and software used by 181 enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex. There are lists of equipment indicating the manufacturing countries and detailed specifications. The names of the Russian enterprises where it is used, and even the specific military products produced, are indicated. The counting, in some unknown way, continues.

In general, if you carefully study the War & Sanctions website, you should admit that serious work is underway to fill it out. The amount of information on Russian weapons (and beyond) is large, everything is systematized, and special attention is paid to new products. Most of the data is obtained from open sources, something is frankly invented for propaganda purposes. We do not have such a resource at the state level. Probably in vain. Sometimes it's not shameful to learn even from an enemy.
