Decision trail

Decision date 24/07/2025 · Reference ↗

In December 2024, Indian firm Ideal Detonators Private Limited exported approximately $1.4 million worth of HMX (octogen), a high-explosive compound with military potential, to two Russian explosive manufacturers, including Promsintez and High Technology Initiation Systems, despite U.S. warnings about sanctions for aiding Russia’s war efforts. The deliveries were routed via customs in St. Petersburg and transported to recipients in Samara region . While Ideal Detonators claimed the shipments were intended for civilian industrial use and compliant with Indian export rules, Ukraine's SBU has identified Promsintez as linked to the Russian military and targeted it in a drone strike in April 2025. The U.S. government classifies HMX as "critical for Russia's war effort" and has warned financial institutions against participating in such supply chains.
