Only "Iskander" was released three times more: the Russian Federation has expanded the production of weapons - Rusi

Experts concluded that despite Russia's western sanctions, it is not only possible to support its military car, but also to strengthen it. Some foreign components, as it turned out, became more accessible to the occupiers. Sanctions against Russia did not prevent the aggressor country from growing military production. This is known from the report of the British Analytical Center of Rusi.

Despite the efforts of the event, Russia continued to import nitrocellulose and other materials for explosive energy from all over the world. In particular, Germany, Turkey and Taiwan were noticed in such supply. This allowed the enemy to maintain a rapid expansion of ammunition production.

In particular, the Russian Federation began to produce more: "Given that all these ammunition is critically dependent on the microelectronics of American and foreign origin, these figures clearly demonstrate that sanctions and other measures were absolutely unable to slow down production," the analysts emphasized. In some cases, access to the western components has even increased.

In particular, Russian invaders have become more actively using and producing a comte-m satellite navigation modules using Taoglas antennas. In addition, Lacet-3 hostile UAV has at least 27 elements of microelectronics, most of which have been developed in the US and Europe. In Russia itself, it is claimed that sanctions have only increased prices for microelectronic components. The situation with heavy equipment is no different.

In 2024, the Russian Federation produces approximately 1,500 tanks and 3000 other combat armored vehicles, planning to release the same and next year. Rusi noted that approximately 85% of this equipment was repaired from storage, but new machines are getting larger. During only 2023, Russia increased the issue of BMP-3 from 100 units to 108, then to 120, and in the fourth quarter-to 135.

To expand the military production of the enemy, it was necessary to change priorities, release some capacity and replace part of foreign parts. Recall that Bulgarian Militation reviewers on June 25 reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation use unmanned ground devices (UGV) to create smoke curtains on the front. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the UAV detachment "Russian hawks" use the wheel drone "Scorpion-M".
