European intelligence sources reveal that Russia has collaborated with Chinese specialists to develop a new attack drone model, the Garpiya-3, which is soon expected to be deployed in Ukraine. Documents suggest that IEMZ Kupol, a Russian state-owned arms manufacturer, has partnered with Chinese experts to mass-produce the drone at a Chinese factory.
European intelligence sources said on Wednesday that Russia has developed a new model of attack drone in China with the help of Chinese specialists and will soon deploy that weapon on the battlefields of Ukraine .documents that purportedly showed IEMZ Kupol, a subsidiary of a Russia n state-owned arms manufacturer called Almaz-Antey, has developed a new drone called the Garpiya-3 in China with the assistance of “local specialists.
According to Reuters’ sources, the Russian company has taken delivery of seven drones from China, two of them G3 models, and is evaluating them at company headquarters in Izhevsk, Russia. China has also seemed reluctant to expose itself to sanctions against the Russian war effort until now, as it has carefully supplied Russia with “dual-use” products that have legitimate non-military applications. Rendering direct lethal assistance to Russia would cross a line that Beijing has thus far been careful to toe. IEMZ Kupol has been under U.S. sanctions since December 2023.
