Indian companies are supplying sanctioned equipment used in weapon manufacturing to Russia. StateWatch analysts have uncovered exports of CNC machine tools, which are essential for producing missiles, drones, and tanks.
LLC I Machine Technology and LLC Incor: Contracts with Russia’s Defense Industry
According to StateWatch, between 2025 and 2026, the Indian firm Supreme Enterprises shipped metalworking processing centers and CNC lathes totaling over $8.5 million to Russia. The customers included sanctioned Russian entities LLC I Machine Technology and LLC Incor, both of which hold contracts with defense manufacturers.
Today, virtually all manufacturing of Russian military hardware relies on specialized CNC machinery. This equipment enables the automated production of complex metal components without requiring direct operator intervention.
Who Is Supreme Enterprises and What Did It Supply
Supreme Enterprises was established in November 2022 by Sunil Kumar. Kumar is also the director of Supreme CNC Machines Private Limited, founded in 2005 and registered at the exact same address.
How the Owner Is Trying to Evade Sanctions
StateWatch analysts found that creating a separate sole proprietorship enabled the owner to legally segregate trade with Russia. This setup allows risky shipments to be processed through the new entity, keeping the core business shielded from international sanctions.
Key Takeaways
- According to StateWatch data, Supreme Enterprises supplied over $8.5 million worth of military-industrial equipment to sanctioned Russian companies.
- To minimize sanction risks, the owner of the Indian firm transferred trade with Russia to a separate legal entity.
