Ukraine says it cracked open a Russian decoy drone used to fool air defenses and found Western parts inside
Russia uses unarmed decoy drones to try to distract Ukrainian air defenses, Kyiv's military intelligence agency said Monday.
Summary
Ukraine’s military intelligence reported finding Western-made components inside Russian decoy drones, used in recent swarm attacks to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses.
Dubbed “Parody,” these decoys are cheaper than Iran’s Shahed-136 drones but can mimic their radar signatures, creating fake targets to distract defenses.
Russia reportedly launched over 2,000 drones last month, half of which were decoys, with some crashing in Moldova, raising regional security concerns.
Despite sanctions, Western technology continues to appear in Russian weapons, complicating efforts to restrict Moscow’s drone capabilities.

name of the company making those components and allowing them get to russia should be publicly known

Apparently it is
i hope they go under, my own country could easily be the one getting bombed by russians
Are they being sold to Russia directly, or is Russia buying them through an intermediary to skirt around sanctions.
Essentially nation-level straw purchasing.
