Many of the countries that have sanctioned Russia over the war in Ukraine need to take urgent action to disrupt the supply of technology for its electronic warfare campaign, according to a new report.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.
