Russia wages electronic warfare ‘using UK-made tech’, Ukraine dossier claims

Not much of a surprise given how far Boris Johnson’s nose was up Russian rear ends. His election campaign advisor (and Brexit pioneer) Dominic Cummings used to live in Russia before he popped up on the UK political scene, then towards the end of Johnson’s tenure he was given a tour of the UK’s nuclear weapons facilities for some reason.

The dossier compiled by Ukraine and circulated to the major countries which have imposed sanctions identifies key Russian firms involved in the development and production of electronic military equipment. It identified what it claims is technology made by British firms in some of the advanced electronic equipment engaged in the conflict, and says more effective action is required to block the use of foreign components. In a recent article in the Economist, Valery Zaluzhny, commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, wrote: “[Electronic warfare] is the key to victory in the drone war. According to the report, transistors from Semelab Ltd, which has its registered office in Woking, Surrey, and is owned by TT Electronic Group Holdings, were found in equipment to block radio-controlled devices and communication on the battlefield. Officials at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office say they have prohibited the exports and supply to Russia of thousands of products, banning all items found on the battlefield. — Saved 74% of original text.
