The systems were manufactured at a facility in Uzhhorod, Ukraine. The Uzhhorod plant is run by a U.S. outsourcing company, Jabil Circuit, for the Israeli corporation Gilat Satellite Networks. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Gilat did not shut down its operations in Russia and continues to import equipment via its subsidiary, Gilate Satellite Networks (Eurasia) LLC, according to investigators. Gilat Satellite Networks has partnered with Russian firms since the early 2000s to build satellite networks for public and private sector use, including the development of military communications technology, investigators said. Gilat has reportedly worked with subsidiaries of industry giants Rostelecom and Gazprom, and has also provided equipment to the Russian Interior Ministry.
