Hundreds of components examined by analysts were produced by American and European companies.
Hundreds of components produced in companies in Europe and the United States of America were found in North Korean missiles that Russia is firing at Ukraine. This conclusion was reached by the British research organization Conflict Armament Research (CAR).
According to CNN , researchers studied 290 components from the remains of a North Korean ballistic missile that were found in Kharkov after the strike in January 2024. It turned out that 75% of the elements were manufactured and sold by companies with American registration.
A further 16% of the components found in the missile were linked to companies registered in Europe, the researchers found, and 9% to companies registered in Asia. These components mainly related to the missile’s navigation system and could be traced to 26 companies with headquarters in the USA, China, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland and Taiwan,” the material says.
It is noted that the components examined by analysts were manufactured between 2021 and 2023. Based on these production dates, experts say the rocket “could not have been assembled before March 2023.”
The researchers emphasize that North Korea has “developed a robust component acquisition network capable of circumventing sanctions that have been in place for nearly two decades.”

So much for sanctions. Remember what Einstein said about doubling down on failed solutions? “It’s like deja vu all over again!” 🙄
Ok, I may have confused that with a famous baseball player, but, whatever. If sanctions stopped wars, we wouldn’t need armys. But we do.
There was a glimmer of hope before the war started that our sanctions could stop it, or, once it does start, end it soon. This glimmer of hope was quickly stomped on by harsh reality. We simply can’t do sanctions. Period.
The biggest stink is the US buying oil from India, that originated in mafia land. There can be no excuse by the US in supporting this terrorist state. The value of the oil was over $1 billion.
The West is a terrible hypocrite.
