Chinese Firm Supplies Mesh Modems for Russian Drones; Banks Facilitate Sales

An investigation by The Insider reveals that Chinese manufacturer Xingkai Tech supplies mesh modems used in Russian 'Gerber' drones, enabling deep penetration into Ukraine. The report claims the company is willing to sell to a Russian factory in Alabuga, with DBS Bank, China Merchants Bank, and Ping An Bank facilitating transactions. This indicates potential sanctions evasion and dual-use technology transfer, though the extent of official Chinese government involvement remains unclear.
