A new report indicating that American-made products were the primary components used in a North Korean-built short-range ballistic missile fired by Russia in its war against Ukraine illustrates the "rampant" supply chain flaws that persist despite numerous safeguards and sanctions enacted by the U.S. to prevent such a scenario from occurring, military experts say.
