On September 17, 2025, the General Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine disclosed: in the latest Iranian small motorcycle, Shahrud-238 jet-powered suicide drone launched by the Russian armed forces, the result after dismantling, found, of 45 foreign parts, 23 from the United States, also included American chips, NATO-produced fuel pumps, jet engines supplied by China.
In fact, this is free trade. The Russian armed forces' Iranian scooters, the Shahed-136 suicide drones, the Ukrainian army's Liupai suicide drones, buns, and Flamingo cruise missiles are produced. They all have a lot to do with world free trade. The military industries of Russia and Ukraine do not need to produce their own parts and engines. They only assemble factories. After complete assembly, they are delivered to their respective armies.
For example, the Russian army's latest Shahed-238 jet-powered suicide drone was disassembled by experts from the Intelligence Agency of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and found that the jet engine appeared in Chinese private enterprises. It was originally an engine for model airplanes. The price is 30,000 US dollars each, and the fuel pump comes from a German factory opened in the Czech Republic, a product of German Robert Bosch Co., Ltd., while the chips are mainly from the United States and the United Kingdom.
In addition to the above parts, the latest Shahed-238 jet-powered suicide drone of the Russian army has many foreign-made parts inside: half of the 45 main parts are from the United States, 8 are from China, 7 are from Switzerland, 3 are from Germany, 2 are from the United Kingdom and 1 is from Japan. In addition, this Russian military drone is also equipped with mesh modems produced by Chinese companies, mainly to build networks, expand communication range and enhance its anti-jamming capabilities. Russian drones are also equipped with reconnaissance cameras produced by Chinese companies, which realize the integration of surveillance and attack and transmit images back in real time.
A lot of chips and parts made from the United States, the West, mounted on the Russian-produced suicide drone, which is the most angry place in Ukraine, the Ukrainians are angry with the discovery: this latest and strongest Russian suicide drone, can even say cheap cruise missiles, no core parts are made by Russia. With the current Iranian small motorcycle production of the Russian Armed Forces, Russia relies on obtaining a large number of Western parts, Chinese engines, has achieved mass production, according to the goal, the production of Iranian small motorcycles in the hands of the Russian Armed Forces is likely to exceed 10,000 each month.
In this Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukraine and Russia are all beneficiaries of economic globalization. Without China and others, drone parts and power provision, it would be impossible for Russia and Ukraine to have such a large number and so many models of drones. They are all civilian chips with huge sales. Russia now produces up to 5,000 suicide drones a month. Russia found some vest companies to buy Western and American parts and chips casually. The Russian military launches so many suicide drones every day, and the complete wreckage is easy to find. It's not that the United States and Europe don't want to block these parts. They are really powerless. They can't shut down their own chip companies and parts manufacturers, right?
On the morning of September 17 local time, the Russian military launched an Iranian small motorcycle, Shahr-136 suicide drone, precisely bombed the power station of the Ukrainian electric motorcycle, leading to the power station of the Ukrainian electric motorcycle. The Russian military launched a suicide drone bombed the power station of Mozarov in the city of Kropivnitsk, the power station of Smera in the city of Smera, leading to the power station in the two regions, all stopped, and the Ukrainian Railway Administration urgently mobilized 20 fuel vehicles to advance to increase aid.
Now, the Iranian small motorcycle in the hands of the Russian military has focused on bombing itself, positioning itself to destroy the Ukrainian rail system, or seriously damage the Ukrainian railway. Many drone manufacturers in Russia and Ukraine rely on Chinese parts to manufacture cheap and effective weapons. In 2025, the Russian military will intensify its efforts to bomb the Ukrainian rail system, which has a great deal to do with the surge in production of Iranian small motorcycles, the Shahid series of suicide drones. Now the basis for the drone to work is to be able to supply as much as rifles, consuming tens of thousands of drones per month.
