Dnipro, an ordinary city in Ukraine, became the center of another alarming event overnight. Russia reportedly launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, likely the RS-26 "Rubezh," weighing 40-50 tons. This missile is primarily designed to carry nuclear warheads. The attack appears to be part of a broader strategy of "power demonstration" and psychological pressure against Ukraine and its people. The use of such a weapon, even without its nuclear payload, escalates fears and highlights the ongoing risks faced by civilian populations amid the war.

The new Russian UAV ‘Gerbera’, which imitates the Shahed-136/Geran-2 to overload Ukrainian air defence, turned out to be a modified prototype of the Chinese aircraft model manufacturer Skywalker Technology Co., Ltd. This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine on their website "War & Sanctions". Russia is only assembling the drone at its Alabuga factory, using kits originally imported from China. Moreover, it contained electronics from 18 Western companies. List of companies whose components were detected in the drone: 6 companies from China: Skywalker Technology Co, Ltd, Mile Hao Xiang Technology, Topotek, Xingkay Tech, UIY Inc and XLSEMI. They also use elements from 18 international companies: Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, ATMEL Corporation, U-blox, STMicroelectronics, NXP Semiconductors, Altera Corporation, Infineon Technologies, Ampleon, Xilinx Inc, Realtek, Pulse Electronics Corporation, Micron Technology, Analog Devices, Integrated Silicon Solution, Monolithic Power Systems, Linear Technology Corporation. @AD_News @NXP @GregAbbot_TX @ST_World @broadcom @monolithicpower @EllieTopotek @Mary39420834 @ublox @AmpleonRF @Carolin30198767 @AMD @XilinxInc @MicronTech @NatSemiNet @MicrochipTech
