Russia has once again circumvented Western sanctions - its newest air-launched cruise missile, the S8000 "Banderol," uses foreign components. This is according to The Defense Post.
Western journalists claim that the "Banderol" uses Muramata batteries and Toshiba phototransistors from Japan, an RFD900x telemetry module from Australia, and Dynamixel MX-64AR servomotors from the South Korean company Robotis.
The missile is equipped with a radio frequency amplifier from the American company Maxim Integrated, a microcontroller from the Swiss STMicroelectronics, and a SW800Pro-A95 turbojet engine from the Chinese Swiwin.
The publication specifies that many parts were designed for commercial or industrial use, but Russian specialists adapted them for military purposes.
"Banderol" is highly maneuverable. The missile's warhead weighs 150 kg.
