The US Department of State has imposed sanctions on three China-based companies and one from Belarus for supplying missile-applicable items for Pakistan’s ballistic missile programme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The US has imposed sanctions on China’-based Xi\u2019an Longde Technology Development Company Limited, Tianjin Creative Source International Trade Co Ltd, and Granpect Company Limited. The Department of State has also imposed sanctions on Belarus-based Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant, who has worked to supply special vehicle chassis to Pakistan\u2019s long-range ballistic missile program.Xi\u2019an Longde Technology Development Company Limited, supplied missile-related equipment, including a filament winding machine, to Pakistan\u2019s long-range ballistic missile programme that we assess was destined for NDC.<\/p>\n

Filament winding machines can be used to produce rocket motor cases.<\/p>\n

Tianjin Creative Source International Trade Co Ltd supplied missile-related equipment to Pakistan\u2019s long-range ballistic missile programme, including stir welding equipment (which the United States assesses can be used to manufacture propellant tanks used in space launch vehicles), and a linear accelerator system (which the United States assesses can be used in the inspection of solid rocket motors).<\/p>\n

Tianjin Creative\u2019s procurements were likely destined for Pakistan\u2019s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), which develops and produces Pakistan\u2019s MTCR Category I ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n

Granpect Company worked with Pakistan’s SUPARCO to supply equipment for testing large-diameter rocket motors.<\/p>\n

Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant supplied special vehicle chassis to Pakistan\u2019s long-range ballistic missile programme.<\/p>\n

Such chassis are used as launch support equipment for ballistic missiles by Pakistan’s National Development Complex (NDC), which is responsible for the development of Missile Technology Control Regime Category (MTCR) I ballistic missile, the US State Department said.<\/p>\n
