揭開土耳其轉運網絡：出口管制下，台灣高階工具機如何持續流入俄羅斯？ - 報導者 The Reporter

俄烏戰爭快一年後，台灣政府才跟上國際禁令、擴大管制範圍限制工具機出口俄羅斯，但一條繞道土耳其的輸入路線隱然浮現，業者持續賺取戰爭財，引來英美歐盟注意⋯⋯

Taiwan has become the Russian arms industry’s main source for high precision machine tools

Despite its publicly pro-Ukrainian position, Taiwan has become Russia’s most important supplier of high-precision metalworking machines, The Insider has discovered as part of a joint investigation carried out with Taiwanese outlet The Reporter. Following the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, German, Japanese, and Swiss machine tools manufacturers all left the Russian market, and Chinese substitutes proved to be of inferior quality. However, Taiwanese machining centers, lathes, and electrical discharge machines have since filled the gap, satisfying the needs of the Russian military-industrial complex. The Taiwanese technology has proven indispensable in the production of fuses, precision weapons, and other Russian military hardware. Sanctions imposed by the Taiwanese government have not remedied this situation, as the machine tools themselves are shipped to Russia via third countries, including Turkey. And in some cases, critical machinery is not subject to restrictions at all. RU
