The report also names the British companies themselves, the components of which were found in the means of radio-electronic warfare of the Russian Federation. These are “Semelab Ltd” transistors in communications jamming equipment and radio-controlled devices on the battlefield. Power sources from “XP Power” are detected in a mobile short-range radar.
