„Tehnologie europeană de înaltă precizie, deturnată”. Cum ajungeau de la Viena în Rusia motoare pentru rachete de croazieră și avioane de vânătoare

Austria has dismantled a network supplying equipment for Russian missile and fighter jet engines, violating EU sanctions. A Vienna-based company falsified end-user certificates to deliver specialized tools and CNC machines. The director, a 28-year-old Belarusian, was arrested in May. The company concealed shipments through a network of shell companies across several countries. Investigators found that the equipment was used for military production, including cruise missile engines. Authorities confiscated CNC machines worth approximately €140,000 during the investigation, which revealed over €3.3 million in industrial products sent to Russian arms manufacturers since 2022.
