Made in Uzhgorod Satellite Communication System is massively imported to the Russian Federation - investigation. Info

According to journalists, about 22,000 systems collected in Ukraine worth about $ 5 million were imported into Russia. This is 6 times more than in 2022, when the equipment of Ukrainian origin of the GILAT brand was included in Russia for $ 840 thousand. Also in Roszma reports often They talk about the transfer of such Gilat systems to the front. The investigation states that the Gilat Skyedge Satellite System for the Israeli Corporation produces an American company plant in Uzhgorod.

This Israeli company, since the 2000s, has helped Russia build a network of satellite communications and is a partner of the largest operators of the Russian Federation. The volume of supply of satellite systems to Russia during the full -scale war increased. The ads for their sale indicate that they are coming to "their".

As expert on military communications and a consultant in the field of radio technologies, Sergei Flash Beskrestnov, for example, Starlink, who work at any point of the globe at the expense of a large number of satellites. For their part, a group of Russian satellites "Yamal" and "Express" works on the principle of satellite television - when the satellite is located at one point, and the antenna is directed to it in a certain area. The system produced in Uzhgorod is suitable.

"If they have their satellites, there is no point in paying for the use of someone else's groups. Unlike Starlink, traffic in Russian networks is difficult to track from the outside. Accordingly, for Russians the use of their systems is banally safer from this point of view, because this traffic goes through Russian servers ", - says Beskrestnov. Recently, the number of such "plates" along the front line has only increased.

"Both networks - both" Yamal "and" Express " - meet the needs of the military. If we now look at the pictures of the front, we will see a lot of" plates "there, especially in Kharkiv region, which are directed to one side - where they" hang " The satellites of these two networks. We destroy it for us priority goals, "Beskrestnov says. It is very difficult to sanction to companies or technologies for satellite communications, says Roman Steblovsky's sanction direction of Trap Agressor.

"The US government allows companies in this area to work in Russia, as it is about the access of civilian population to satellite communications under the pretext of protecting freedom of speech, freedom of information. To impose sanctions on such business as Gilat, very clear evidence is needed not just the use of their products by the military, And the use in the war against Ukraine, on the battlefield, " - says the expert.

After 2022, Gilat did not cover its business in the Russian Federation and continues to import equipment there through its subsidiary company "Gilate Satellet Networks (Eurasia)". It was she who imported about 22,000 sets of Skydge II-C Gemini-I and Capricorn Pro in 2023 in 2023 in the amount of about $ 5 million. According to customs declarations, the systems departed from Israel and Turkey. And it stated that they are made in Ukraine.

Also, the Gilate SatellLight Networks (Eurasia) "imports similar Philippines (16 thousand sets per $ 1. 3 million). Journalists have tied up with Altegrosky Director with the office in Moscow, and who calls themselves the largest commercial satellite service provider. During a call in the technical support, Jan's manager said that "the other (Russian military, ed. ) Assist partners.

" Now our partners buy systems and how humanitarian aid is being taken to the area, "she said and added that they did not hear that they did not hear that they were not heard Instead, in the technical support of the Gilate "Sigal" supplier, which is registered in Krasnodar, reported that the systems of Ukrainian production were sent to the front. -you have already been such systems. . ).

Production, however, products under its brand are manufactured by the plant "Jeibil Songkit Ukraine Limited" in Uzhgorod. Customs data indicate that a large part of products is exported to Hungary. Unlike Gilat, Jabil left Russia and closed production there. However, according to Russian customs data, the "Ukrainian" GILAT systems are made by Jabil. Jabil inccont was reported that an enterprise in Uzhgorod in Ukraine does not supply goods to Russia.

"We assure all the stakeholders that we have taken steps to make no products made by Jabil in Ukraine. ", - Jabil said in answering. Journalists say that the product could be exported from Ukraine to Israel, where it was cleared and then he could come to the Russian Federation. At the same time, the Israeli company could buy this product in Ukraine and indicate the recipient of the company in the EU.
