Dual use technology???

The weapons may have reached Russia through Iran, Militarnyi said. Tehran buys Chinese arms, including shoulder-fired missiles, and in July 2026 reports emerged that an Iranian deal with China covers up to 400 MANPADS, including the QW-12 and FN-16, at an estimated cost of $60 million to $70 million. Iran’s Misagh family is itself derived from China’s QW series, and Pakistan builds a similar missile under the name Anza-2.

Militarnyi said Russia’s use of foreign-made shoulder-fired missiles may indicate that its own industry cannot produce enough to meet the military’s needs. Mobile fire groups have become a main line of defense against the long-range drones Ukraine sends against Russian refineries, airfields and weapons plants, which increases demand for short-range missiles.

Pathetic russia needs to get MANPADS from China though, they started this war did they not think they would need endless troop carryable AA rockets?? What a futile, pointless mess… russia is approaching the point where it has irrevocably shattered itself and yet it is still in denial about losing.
