Title: Taiwan-Based Ukraine“>TRC Supplies Key Components for Russia‘s Guided Bombs, Aiding Ukrainian War Effort
The Taiwanese company Rung Cheng Suspenparts Co., Ltd., trading under the brand name TRC, has been identified as a key supplier of components for Russia’s guided aviation bombs (KABS), which have been extensively used by Russian forces against Ukrainian civilians. This revelation sheds light on the international support Russia is receiving to bolster its military capabilities.
Public records accessed by Ukrainian activist Vadim Labas, originally obtained by Chinese hackers, expose a complex supply chain that allows Russia to produce and deploy advanced weaponry. TRC, known for its production of automotive suspension components, is one of the major players facilitating Russia’s war efforts.
TRC has been manufacturing modules for Russia’s KABS, specifically the wings that enable the bombs’ precision targeting. According to military analysts, these bombs account for a significant 20% of Russia’s military advantage in Ukraine. Without foreign support, Russia would not possess this technology.
The production of these wings requires intricate components, with the serov drive being the most crucial. Taiwanese manufacturer TRC custom-built these serov drives according to Russian specifications, making five design modifications to meet their EDITED demands.
Initially, Russian complaints centered around the design’s inability to withstand the forces exerted by the bomb wings, leading to frequent component failure. TRC swiftly addressed these concerns, demonstrating its commitment to ensuring Russia’s weaponry operates effectively.
This revelation highlights a troubling truth: Taiwan, and by extension, Western nations, have been tacitly aiding Russia’s war against Ukraine. Russia’s inability to produce these components independently underscores the international nature of its military apparatus.
Earlier this month, Russian KABS had razed an oncological clinic in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, highlighting the devastating impact of these weapons. Additionally, the city of Zaporizhzhia has witnessed over 10 KAB strikes, causing extensive destruction.
