RUSSIAN ESPIONAGE EXPOSED: Estonian Faces 40 Years for Funnelling U.S. Electronics to Putin's Army

An Estonian national has pleaded guilty in a U.S. federal court to participating in a procurement network that illegally acquired sensitive American electronics for Russian military and government-linked entities. Prosecutors said Andrey Shevlyakov used shell companies and false identities to evade export controls and ship more than $1 million worth of restricted technology to Russian customers, including defense contractors. U.S. authorities said the electronics had applications in communications, avionics, missile systems and electronic warfare. Shevlyakov, who was extradited from Estonia in 2025, faces up to 40 years in prison as part of a case stemming from a broader FBI investigation that spanned roughly 14 years. #russia, #russianmilitary, #ustechnology, #fbi, #nationalsecurity, #exportcontrols, #sanctions, #estonia, #smuggling, #militarytechnology, #russiaukrainewar, #breakingnews, #worldnews, #geopolitics, #electronics, #russiandefense, #federalcourt, #investigation, #securitynews, #latestnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
