Not sure about missile components (chips?), but Wildberries is probably the main platform for small-sized drone components: optics, fibre, spares, batteries, etc. And for other stuff, such as military wear, accessories and dual-use tech.
Agreed. Imagine also how vulnerable AI Data Centres are too...
Time some trains went 'Boom'........Report: North Korea resumes ballistic missile shipments to Russia
North Korea has resumed sending Russia one of its deadliest ballistic missiles, a weapon that started this war as a punchline for its terrible aim and has since become one of the most accurate short-range missiles in Moscow's arsenal. That'sdefence-blog.com
Agree. To add, it is not only the largest trucking company but also the main actor in the logistics and trade network serving the Russian armed forces.re
"Time some trains went 'Boom'........"
Patience.
US/NATO INTEL has determined that Wildberries, along with storing and shipping bits and pieces that might be considered civilian under other circumstances but can be used for military purposes in war-time, has also been covertly transporting various military materiel. Trucks have been tracked delivering cargo to civilian business and industry in the rear areas of the combat zones, with the cargo subsequently being picked up from the civilian businesses and industry by military units wearing civilian clothing and driving civilian vehicles when moving the cargo to military storage and distribution centers near the front lines. Wildberries trucks have also been tracked carrying straight-up weapons materiel from airports and sea ports to various military installations farther from the front lines.
Basically, Ukraine is hitting Russias largest trucking company in response for the Russian government requiring Wildberries to covertly carry military cargo. FWIW Wildberries did not want to carry military cargo, but were not given a choice in the matter.
Just a recent example, one of thousands in Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion.
