Russian firms, including companies under sanctions that manufacture rocket launchers, armored vehicles and strategic bombers, received tens of thousands of shipments from China in the first quarter of this year.

Another company, Hems999, has supplied two helicopters, and Tianjin Huarong Aviation has donated four Airbus helicopters to Russia since the start of the war.

Chinese firms have also shipped optical sights to more than 50 Russian companies from early 2022 through the first quarter of this year.

Imports of these products almost doubled to $2.5 million last year compared to the previous year.
