An excerpt

This is not an isolated example. The manufacturing of specialist components for highprecision machinery requires precise measuring and testing equipment. When building complex machines such as military aircraft, which function under high stress and handle high levels of electromagnetic activity, the quality control of manufacturing is vital. All Russian radar, communication, EW and SIGINT systems, and the production and development of these systems, require precise signal measurement and analysis. As a result, Russian manufacturers of avionics and the university laboratories that OAC partners with all use the products of leading manufacturers of measuring equipment like the US-based Keysight and National Instruments or Germany’s Rhode & Schwartz and Ceyear. Up until 2022, the Russian subsidiary of Keysight – a world leader in signal measuring, analysis and testing equipment – was active in the domestic market and had major defence contractors as customers. Locally manufactured equipment of comparable sensitivity and reliability is simply unavailable.

Like I keep saying, there are natural synergies to be had between Russia and China. Yes, obviously this report has greatly exaggerated Russia's dependency on Western inputs, but nevertheless, there are obviously areas where this is true. China can provide a lot of things that the West used to, with more tech transfer and much cheaper. Most importantly, without any of the security concerns or need for hoop-jumping like with Western suppliers.

The guy that seems to be a Sukhoi engineer in the Su-57 has mentioned that the Su-57 GaN radar will use components sourced from China, too. The article seems to be a bunch of denial about how China probably has or can produce replacements for their top end stuff, or the fact that the companies mentioned have facilities in China

Kazakhstan's press service published footage of an honor guard of Russian Su-35S fighter jets escorting Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's Airbus A321-211. The escort extended from the Kazakh border to Moscow. The Su-35S were armed with R-77-1 air-to-air missiles. The R-77-1 medium-range missile was adopted by Russia in 1994 and upgraded to the RVV-SD version.

Russian robotic systems, such as the Kurier robotic system with the Ignis laser mine-clearing system, are already being successfully used in Russia's Kursk region. The rapid adoption of this new system by the army is noteworthy. The system has demonstrated high effectiveness in clearing anti-tank and anti-personnel mines from various countries, anti-tank grenade launcher ammunition, projectiles, and portable anti-tank guided missiles. For the first time, engineers demonstrated munitions cleared by the Kurier robot.

Hi,
probably want to pitch R77-1 or latest version to Kazakhstan airforce as they are already operating
SU30SM variant in their airforce and SU27
thank you
