Rusia construiește rachetele hipersonice rusești Kinzhal cu electronică din SUA. 79% din piese “Made în USA” • Newsweek România

A significant portion of the components in Russia's Kinzhal hypersonic missiles are sourced from the United States, revealing the country's reliance on foreign technology despite sanctions. Out of 197 electronic subassemblies identified, 79% are American-made. The Kinzhal missile has not proven effective in combat, leading to a reconsideration of its production. Russia's military has used over 230 Kinzhal missiles in the Ukraine conflict, but their effectiveness has been questioned, especially after Ukraine successfully intercepted one. This dependence on Western technology is evident across various Russian weapon systems, highlighting vulnerabilities in Russia's military capabilities.
