British parts discovered in Russian drones used to attack Ukraine

1. I’m just stunned we still manufacture anything useful.

2. TLDR
   Uk company sells parts to India who sell to Russia.
   Hope the uk government put an end to it immediately regardless.

3. Not quite as easy to police as Zelenskyy would like.

   A large chunk of modern drones can be made with off the shelf non military products, or items regarded as “dual use” so they’re reasonably easy to export to a reputable overseas company.

   That reputable company then sells the goods/sub components to what they believe is another reputable company, who then sells it onto some dodgy buggers who get it into Russia.

   If you can get banned Nvidia and Intel chips into China, and cocaine from South America into Soho, you can get anything you want into Russia with enough willpower and cash.

4. May I suggest we use the Rhodesia solution, minister?

5. The description makes me think of a particular product, that is very much off the shelf and would be difficult to control how people use it.

6. Russia is going be pissed off when they find they got sold a load of Lucas electrical parts.

7. Strangely enough. British parts found in Ukrainian drones.
