This was stated by the Head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak.
"The two Russian Ka-52 helicopters shot down today could not fly without foreign components," stated his message.
According to Yermak, the Russians actively employ these helicopters on the frontlines to gain an advantage in the air and strike at the positions of the Defense Forces. Meanwhile, Ukrainian specialists have been studying the Ka-52 for a long time, and therefore it is known that they have foreign components.
"It is known that this rotorcraft contains high-tech components of Western and Asian countries. In particular, chips, microprocessors, integrated circuits, receivers, flash memory, telecommunication transformers, transceivers, linear stabilizers, microcircuits, without which its operation would be impossible, because Russia is not capable of producing such technological products," said the representative of the Office of the President.
Currently, the ways in which Moscow receives components while bypassing sanctions are being studied. In addition, Kyiv is working with governments of countries and manufacturing companies to restrict the Russian military-industrial complex. Yermak also states that sanctions against the aggressor country should be strengthened.
"Sanctions against Russia need to be intensified. The Russian military-industrial complex should not have access to technologies. Shooting down the Ka-52 is great, but it's much better to deprive Russia of the capability to produce it," emphasizes the Head of the Office of the President.
