The refusal to review these regulations continues…

For the first time, Ukraine’s military intelligence has reported the discovery of an Indian-made component in a Russian weapon system. The component, a clock buffer from Aura Semiconductor, highlights a notable shift in Russia’s sourcing of military technology as it phases out nearly all American-made parts under international sanctions.
