Chinese curbs on the export of drones and their components have caused supply disruptions and shortages in Russia, according to the Kommersant business daily, APA reports citing The Moscow Times.
Beijing this summer announced the drone export restrictions, which came into effect on Sept. 1, after Washington accused it of aiding Moscow's war efforts in Ukraine.
Chinese authorities said the restrictions would apply to drones at risk of “being converted for military use,” while also denying they targeted “any specific country.”
Russian agricultural, surveillance and industrial drone retailers told Kommersant they had either run out of stock entirely or doubled prices due to the export curbs.
