Trump’s foe secretly fueling Russia’s war? Xi sent 46 tons of cargo to help Putin make 1,300 drones?

Published on Sep 08, 2026 01:30 am IST

China reportedly supplied Russia with enough specialised material to help manufacture around 1,300 Geran strike drones, potentially exposing another lifeline for Vladimir Putin's war machine. According to Politico, internal shipping and customs documents show Chinese state-owned Jilin Chemical Fiber Group supplied 46 tons of precursor material used to produce high-strength carbon fiber for drone airframes and structural components. The cargo was reportedly declared under a civilian customs code, potentially obscuring its dual-use nature. With Western curbs targeting Moscow's military supply chains, has Xi Jinping found another route to keep Putin's deadly drone arsenal growing?
