German prosecutors have charged two people with illegally delivering electronic parts for use in drones to Russia, accusing them of circumventing sanctions imposed on Moscow. The accused delivered components to a Russian company that produces military equipment, including the Orlan-10 drone, which has been used by Russian forces in Ukraine, the German Federal Public Prosecutor's Office said on March 5. The components in question are commonly used in this type of drone and are covered by the European Union's sanctions on Russia, it said. A higher court must now decide whether the case will go to trial.
