In a surprising revelation, the Russian Finance Minister recently acknowledged that a substantial majority of the drones used by Russia originate from China. The announcement has sparked discussions about Russia’s reliance on foreign technology, while also drawing attention to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) move last month to impose export controls on its drones.

On Oct. 16, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov spoke at a meeting of the State Duma’s Budget and Taxes Committee. He revealed that “almost all” drones currently used by Russia come from China.
