According to The Times, China handed over to Russia a large batch of drones, which could be an important stage in military cooperation between the two countries. This agreement, which was concluded last year, gives Russia the opportunity to test the latest technologies of unmanned aviation in the conditions of Ukrainian conflict.
Western officials believe that there is now "clear evidence that Chinese companies are supplying Russian deadly weapons for use in Ukraine."
The new Western intelligence report states that the Chinese company sends a number of specially created military drones to Russia for testing at the front in Ukraine.
The agreement was concluded last year, but only now there are clear evidence of deliveries. In this case, the Chinese authorities are either directly involved in deliveries or at least knowledgeable.
NATO reacted to new information, which means significant escalation from China. Allies consult on this.
