very poetic mate , in a dark jim morrison sort of way the subject of this topic reminds me of a movie about a real life illegal arms dealer who supplied anybody and everybody in conflicts . "the lord of war" with nicholas cage . i'm not a big fan of that actor but it is a pretty good movie . could the situation with american parts in russian drones be the result of a middle man , giving american companies plausible deniability ? quite probably

This is simple low grade propaganda.
Take note how "80 of the 105 components in the onboard computer" stated in the video morphs into RUSSIA’S GERAN DRONE: 76% AMERICAN-MADE.
I suppose things are getting desperate in Ukraine and the US is no longer as supportive as it once was but I can't see that a video such as this will turn things around.
Most people are unfamiliar with component level electronics and will have no knowledge that Texas Instruments and National Semiconductor licence manufacture in Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Europe and many other countries and the stuff that is made is essentially commodity grade material and is available to all and by and large impossible to control.
Recall from a few years ago how Russia was the object of mirth for using "washing machine parts" in their drones. Same stuff.
Note also the source UATV. They would say that wouldn't they. This will probably become a recurring theme of how Ukraine is now being backstabbed by the US.

Now if you are interested in how both effective and high quality propaganda is generated watch this:

Von Der Lyon claiming washing machine chips, BBC military analysts claiming human wave attacks with shovels. Half a trillion dollars funneled into was conflict which has only one outcome.
