Russia started producing a new long-range attack drone called the Garpiya -A1 last year using Chinese engines and parts, according to two sources.

The existence of the new Russian drone incorporating Chinese technology has not been previously reported.

The two intelligence sources said the drone has been deployed against military and civilian targets in Ukraine .

European intelligence service concerned Chinese companies continue to provide components that enabled Russian production of large kamikaze drones.

U.S. has imposed hundreds of sanctions aimed at curbing Moscow 's ability to exploit certain technologies for military purposes.

Washington has repeatedly warned Beijing over its support for Russia 's defence industry.

China said it would tighten drone export rules starting on Sept. 1 .
