Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
#Russia still continues to receive modern #Taiwanese chips to manufacture its deadly weapons.
We visited a forensic lab to find out how chips from Ukraine’s allies are found inside #Russian weapons.
-
It’s 11 am, on a normal working day in Kyiv.
You're sitting in the corridor of your office because an air raid alert has been announced due to a missile threat. Suddenly, you hear loud explosions outside.
-
Half an hour later, you're at the site of the attack, where a #Russian missile hit the main children's hospital in Kyiv.
-
A few days later, the U.N. officially said that the #Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital was “most likely” directly hit by a modern #Russian Kh-101 cruise missile. Two people were killed and sixteen injured. Many more children, undergoing treatment, are displaced.
-
Critically, the missile included dozens of electronic chips from non-Russian manufacturers. Surprisingly, investigators found #Taiwanese chips inside the remnants of the Kh-101 missile.
-
Back in June 2022, #Taiwan imposed sanctions on Russia, including a ban on direct supplies of modern chips that could be used in weapons.
However, the #Russian Kh-101 used in the attack against #Okhmatdyt was only manufactured a few weeks before the attack.
