Ukrainian roots of Russian weapons: where the Russian Federation gets "stuffing" for drones, rockets and cabin
Officially, compets is produced by the Russian company "Vnyir Progress", but it includes a GNSS receiver. Depending on the model and availability of components at the factory, the Russians put receivers from Swiss companies Ublox or NVS Technologies AG - that is exactly the same Tim Karpinsky found in the "comet". The latter company is really based in Montlingen, Switzerland, which is only part of the Group Halp group.
In December 2023, Ukraine applied sanctions against NVS Technologies AG and "Hall Group". It is interesting that in 2005, the Moscow "KB Hads" (under the sanctions of Ukraine since 2018), which is the basis of the group, founded the "canopy-Ukraine" on the basis of the enterprise of the Ukrainian Defense and Industrial Complex "Ortizon-Navigation".
Officially, it still exists, specializes in the development, production and repair of equipment of satellite navigation systems GLONASS and GPS, as well as manufactures the equipment of synchronization and imitators of satellite navigation systems. "Orizone navigation" is generally included in the list of enterprises that are strategic for the economy and security of Ukraine, because it produces Ukrainian details.
In 2008, Glospace SGK-70 navigators with Ukrainian and South Korean electronics were selling in Russia. According to the Russian Site "Compromise", it contained 24-channel Glodass/GPS receivers called Navior24, which produced "Orizone navigation". At the same time, the enterprise supplied Ukrainian spare parts of Ukrainian production: GPS receptions through the "KB of Hang" of the Navy of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Transport of Russia.
In 2011, information emerged that the "oysone-navigation" transferred the right to production of the Navior-24 module to the Moscow "KB Hosis". It is worth considering the fate of "Vis-Ukraine". The Unified Register of Judgments contains the decision of the Sosnovsky District Court of Cherkasy to conduct searches from employees of the enterprise in the framework of a criminal case.
According to the pre-trial investigation, in the fall of 2016, the officials of LLC "Vis-Ukraine" were illegally transported from Ukraine to Russia control and corrective stations and their components, which are recognized as dual use, including transit through Austria, Switzerland or Hong Kong. The further development of this story is unknown, because there are no more documents about this case in the open access.
The question arises: what else did the Smilyanskaya-Ukraine workers have managed to pass to the Russians for 10 years of war, and did it return to Ukrainians in the form of drones and missiles? According to information from the Opendatabot service, the company from Cherkasy region tried to detract from its Russian roots. In 2018, LLC "VOS-Ukraine" was renamed "NSC Telematic Systems", probably not to have any associations with Moscow "KB Hosis".
The final beneficial owners - CJSC "Design Bureau of Navigation Systems" and its founder, Mikhail Medvedev, have also changed. In 2021, information about the founder also changed - instead of the same "KB of Navigation Systems" Oksana Ilkevich is now indicated. Even after these changes, in 2022, the company became involved in other, although similar criminal proceedings of the National Police.
During the pre-trial investigation, law enforcement officers concluded that "NSC TC" in the period 2010-2016 sold navigation systems that can be used for military purposes and components to them by Moscow "KB" and "NVS" Navigation Technologies. double -purpose goods) and announcement of a ban on their export to Russia, the Ukrainian company began to send products to enterprises registered in Western Europe, namely: NVS Technologies AG (Switzerland) and Cotra GmbH (Austria).
which used it for the construction of rockets. 99 "(" Medium Navigation-99 "), which includes a fee with the marking of TDCC. 468173. 005-01 (main management element, targeting and navigation of the missile) and block" MSC-RFS amplifier ". Thanks to the declarations transferred by the State Customs Service of Ukraine, it was possible to establish that the components of the navigation equipment with the marking "Pkan. 468173.
005-01" in 2014 were supplied by the State Enterprise "Orizon-navigation" to CJSC "KB" KB ". Thus, the marking of the surviving "caliber" is partially coinciding with the marking of navigation equipment that was supplied by the Ukrainian company in Russia. Declarations also shown that during 2019-2021 the company sold Russian NAV Navigation Technologies, which received from "NVS telematical systems" from Cherkasy region.
The court in Cherkasy issued a number of resolutions on the search of "NVS Telematic Systems" in the framework of seven similar criminal proceedings. Navigation and positioning of combat missiles under the guise of civilian products. This electronics was found in the Caliber missiles, which were fired by the Russian Armed Forces, including the CH-99 navigation tool that includes antennas "C101P" or "C104P" and the board receiver of satellite navigation "BPSN-2", block amplifier -RFS ".
That is, if the suspicions of law enforcement officers are justified, the following situation is obtained: "NSC Telematic Systems" (formerly "Visz-Ukraine") sent her "sister" NVS Technologies AG to Switzerland, navigation systems or details made in Ukraine, probably GNSS -Recertains for antenna grilles "Comet".
