China is cutting supplies of components for Ukrainian drones, reports the n-tv channel citing a representative of a network of Ukrainian and international arms companies.
According to him, Beijing is increasingly restricting such supplies and also cracking down on attempts by the Ukrainian defense industry to import Chinese electronic components through allied countries.
According to the channel's interlocutor, Beijing bans the supply of UAV components to the Baltic countries, "because it knows they will end up here, in Ukraine."
These restrictions hit Ukrainians hard, as engines, batteries, and flight controllers for drones used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine are predominantly supplied from China, notes n-tv.
