According to Ukrainian military expert Walentyn Badrak, Chinese components are crucial for Russia’s production of jet-powered drones. Without supplies from China, Russia would have about two-thirds fewer of these aircraft available, Badrak said in an interview with Polskie Radio.
Such drones had repeatedly attacked targets and objects near the Polish border in recent weeks. Russia is mainly betting on the Gerań-5 type. Ukrainian intelligence estimates that Moscow can produce and deploy about 3,000 jet drones monthly.
Russia can produce at most about a third of the required engines itself, said Badrak. The comparatively cheap jet drives made the drones fast and harder to intercept. According to Ukrainian figures, more than half of the unmanned aircraft used by Russia now consists of jet-powered drones.

That picture is not a gerań-5. It’s also not jet powered…
Even better when you consider Canada signed a 100 year deal with Ukraine while making deals with China, who’s supplying Russia with weapons to fight Ukraine.
You can’t make this stupid shit up.
