Some Ukrainian military companies continue to deliver military exports to Russia. Previously, Ukroboronprom State Company announced that such deliveries have been cancelled. However, according to Informational Resistance, an independent military expert group, several contracts with Russia are fulfilled though different state structures and Ukroboronprom cannot control those.
For example, Kyiv Arsenal factory continues to produce warheads for P-73 air-to-air missiles for Russian customers. The Mayak warhead was designed at the Arsenal. P-73 is a missile which is widely used to arm fighter jets in the Russian Air Force (MiG-29, MiG-31, Su-24, Su-27), as well as for the modern MiG-35, Su-35C and experimental aircraft.
