Chinese company Harxon manufactures satellite navigation Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPAs) critical for Russia's Geran drones, derived from Iran's Shahed models. These antennas enable Russian drones to resist Ukrainian electronic warfare jamming and maintain precision targeting. Harxon exports these antennas disguised as agricultural components through a shell company NavX to bypass Chinese export restrictions on dual-use military goods. Investigative sources posed as Russian military contractors and successfully ordered CRPAs from Harxon/NavX. Evidence from drone debris in Ukraine shows antennas labeled with Harxon/NavX models. NavX acts as a shell to insulate Harxon from sanctions and military sales exposure. Harxon continues operating openly in Western markets despite its role in Russian drone production.
