Ukraine has raised concerns about Western-made components being found in North Korean missiles, specifically the KN-23 and KN-24 models. These missiles, used by Russia, contain parts from companies in the US, UK, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Among the identified firms are Analog Devices (US), XP Power (UK), NXP (Netherlands), Avago (US), and Broadcom. Components from nine companies were found in total. This discovery underscores the ineffectiveness of sanctions aimed at preventing the flow of Western technology to sanctioned nations.
