A startling claim from Main Directorate of Intelligence has put the spotlight on Russia’s newest cruise missile—the S-71K Kovyor. Ukrainian officials allege the weapon is packed with Western-origin components, raising serious questions about how Russia continues to bypass sanctions imposed after its invasion of Ukraine. According to the GUR, the missile—reportedly launched from the Su-57—contains electronics sourced from multiple countries, including the United States, Germany, Japan, and others. The agency has released a 3D model highlighting the components, suggesting Moscow still has access to critical foreign technologies. The revelations raise a bigger question: are sanctions failing to stop the flow of technology into Russia’s war machine?
