North Korea is using Western parts obtained bypassing sanctions in its missiles used by Russia to hit Ukraine

Such conclusions were reached by the British Center for the Study of Weapons in Conflict.

290 non-North Korean-made electronic components were found in the wreckage of a DPRK missile that fell in Kharkiv.

Many of these components “can be linked” to companies from the United States, Germany and other Western countries, analysts believe. They note that a significant number of the components were manufactured within the last 3 years, according to the markings. This indicates that the missile could have been delivered to Russia only after it began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
