China's Massive Military Gear Shipment to Russia Includes Advanced Drones: Report

China has been sending significant amounts of military equipment, including drones and protective gear, to Russia through loopholes in Western sanctions. Chinese manufacturers have delivered enough equipment to outfit an entire army, aiding Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. The gear is considered nonlethal and dual-use, allowing Western authorities to avoid confronting China. Russia has imported over $100 million worth of drones from China this year alone. Chinese parts have also been found in Russian weapons captured by Ukraine. Despite claiming neutrality, China is supporting Russia's positions in the war.
