Export is ongoing: the Caliber rocket has found components of 11 Western companies - experts

The components produced by Harting, Trimble and Te Connectivity continue to come to Russia through official distributors or through third countries, such as Turkey and Hong Kong, according to the report. The components of double use of the production of the West have continued to come to Russia for many months from the date of full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This is evidenced by the data of the new joint report on February 28 of the International Human Rights Partnership and the Independent Anti -Corruption Commission (NAC). "The data that the NAC has discovered and analyzed in this report indicate that the Russian winged rocket" Caliber "includes components of production of 11 foreign companies, including 9 American, as well as Swiss and Taiwanese," the statement reads .

The report states that 4 key types of weapons of the Russian Federation and weapons used for the commission of war crimes depend to varying extent on the components of dual -use of Western production, and they, according to the study, continued to come to Russia and at the end of 2022. The cost of such exports is estimated at millions of dollars. Two of the companies produce dual -use components that the Russian Federation needs to repair military weapons and production.

Trade data indicate that the components produced by Harting, Trimble and Te Connectivity continue to come to Russia through official distributors or through third countries, such as Hong Kong and Turkey. "Exports to Russia from Western companies that produce dual -use components that the Kremlin needed has continued," the researchers said.

The authors of the report gave several recommendations to politicians and business, in particular, to recognize and publicly recognize the existence of the problem, to carefully review the sanctions and measures of export control and to monitor the end users of dual -use goods and their components.
