Despite formal sanctions, Chinese firms continue supplying dual-use electronics and components to Russian military production hubs. Janes and OSINT analysts have identified microchips, sensors, and optical systems of Chinese origin inside Russian UAVs and missiles. These goods often enter via overland crossings like Manzhouli and reach nodes like Bryansk for distribution. The shipments are often disguised as civilian exports, complicating international tracking and enforcement.Sources
