Own navigation chips: Was the Russian Federation to establish electronics for "calibers" - experts

Russia can receive electronic components from China and report that it has increased its own production. Rosstat reports indicate that 14 million units were issued at the beginning of 2024. semiconductor components. Official Russian statistics report on the increase in the production of their own semiconductor devices, engines and even freight helicopters.

At the same time, the wreckage of the winged Kalibre missiles, which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation fired at Ukraine, used to be mostly Western components, but later it changed. Whether Russia is capable of producing its own electronics for weapons, experts of the Defense Express portal told. Experts first noted that the amount of Western electronics within Russian rockets decreased due to sanctions.

This is evidenced by the results of the analysis of the fragments of the winged rockets "Kalibr", as well as other types of missiles (P-500 for "Iscander-M", airline X-59 and X-101). For example, changes touched CH-99 navigation system-photographs of this component were studied by researchers of the project of Conflict Arm9-Research. It turned out that among the debris that appeared recently, it is really noticeable that the number of elements of Russian production has increased.

"This indicated that the enemy has clear success in the replacement of" external "deliveries," experts wrote. In the article, Defense Express is amazed why analysts pay little attention to Russian attempts to replace Western elements that, through sanctions, get more and more expensive through sanctions. Today, we can only conclude that Russian electronics in rockets are, but on what scale - no one has counted yet, - experts summed up.

However, the portal noted the attempt of analysts to learn about the possibilities of the Russian Federation on the basis of static reports published by the State Institution "Rossotstat". For example, in the spring report it is explicitly stated that in early 2024 the Russians began to produce more semiconductor components. Growth during the year - by 4 million units.

However, experts explained that according to these data it is impossible to conclude on the release of their own Russian electronics. In their view, it is necessary to take into account the increase in deliveries from the partner country-China. It should be noted that on May 1, the media published an analysis of the data of "Rosstat" and data of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the economy of the Russian Federation.
