The publication refers to information from the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation received by a certain NPO. How the secret data turned out to be with American analysts is not specified. However, not only this is embarrassing in their report

The data received by the Washington-based non-governmental organization Center for Advanced Defense Studies, engaged in "identifying threats to US national security" is, for a second, 84 thousand records of deliveries to Russia. This is data on technology imports since the beginning of the special operation, including dual-use ones, and most of them come from China. It is stated that this is information from the Federal Customs Service.

The Wall Street Journal highlights some points: Chinese firms supplied Russia with navigation equipment for Mi-17 military transport helicopters, telescopic antennas for the electronic jamming complex for radio communication systems, and parts for radars for the sub-sanctioned Almaz-Antey. There were also lightweight DJI quadcopters. All this can be attributed to dual-use goods, for the supply of which to Russia the US and the EU have a “persistent allergy” - such supplies are blocked by several packages of sanctions, and third countries are threatened with secondary restrictions.

Be that as it may, none of this looks like a really important and strategic technology that Russia does not produce or cannot do without. All this was bought from China, because it is easier and cheaper, Vadim Kozyulin, head of the Center for Global Studies and International Relations at the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is sure:


Vadim KozyulinHead of the Center for Global Studies and International Relations, Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs“There are no critical components here. DJI is the most massive and most successful Chinese commercial drone, sold freely in all countries. Moreover, I will say that the US also produces similar drones, only they are more expensive. Surprising is only one fact that such a volume of customs information fell into the hands of investigators, which, I think, should not be allowed in the current situation. The telescopic antenna is also a dual-purpose thing. Most likely, they just bought it in China, because it is cheaper. Navigation systems - we use them in our smartphones. The Mi-17 helicopter itself is not military. I did not see anything that would be produced under an American license. It is clear that the United States has made it a rule to extend its legislation to the whole world.”

Nowhere in the material does it say whether Beijing produced all this using American technology, or according to purely its own, Chinese. And this is important - if it was a US license, then Washington's indignation is understandable. The version is unlikely, Beijing would hardly go for an open violation of the ban. On the other hand, if the technologies are Chinese, Washington should not interfere in these deliveries at all.

According to The Wall Street Journal, “customs and corporate documents show that Russia can still import these technologies through countries that have not joined the US-led efforts to cut Moscow off from world markets.” We conclude that Washington still interferes in Beijing's trade deals, in which American technologies do not appear at all.

The second embarrassing moment: it is not clear how the American NPO obtained such a volume of Russian customs documentation, in addition to information that, of course, is classified with the start of the CBO, says Vice-Rector of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Economics Alexei Zubets:


Alexey ZubetsVice-Rector of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Economics“There is an option that this is some kind of hacker attack. There is an option that it was simply bought from officials through the action of some kind of intelligence. But it's up to law enforcement to look for leaks. The option that this base is falsified is most likely not. Although, indeed, if we are talking not about American products, but about Chinese or Turkish products, then the Americans should not interfere in this at all, but from the point of view of the Americans, this is not so. They are trying to limit the supply of high-tech products, including those made in China using Chinese technologies for the needs of the military-industrial complex. These are instruments of pressure on the Russian Federation. It is possible that this story is not directed against Russia. For example, it can be directed against China, that is, the Americans need some kind of a series of pretexts in order to

Turkey became the second country after China in terms of disputable, according to the US, supplies. Over the past year, Turkish firms exported goods to Russia worth more than $33 million. True, according to The Wall Street Journal, in three cases we are talking about American-made goods. However, the goods there are not exactly for military purposes - electronics, spare parts, elevators and power generators.

Without even reading I already know this is like the Xinjiang allegations, aka America-funded NGOs using made up "unnamed/leaked/insider" information to make ridiculous conclusions, which then gets reported by WSJ as "fact".

Just before the Ukraine conflict. both Mi-28 and Ka-52 were brought to Dubai. it is very rare to bring both to a foreign airshow for public.
and i think they are the upgraded versions as the square rocket pods and the large missile in front of Ka-52 is not seen yet in Ukraine.

MOSCOW, February 2. /TASS/. The contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the construction of a series of six frigates of the ocean zone of projects 22350 and 22350M is planned to be signed at the Army-2023 forum, it can be obtained by the Amur Shipbuilding Plant. This was reported to TASS by a source in the military-industrial complex.

Sounds great, if they can be delivered before 2040.

Also, previously rumoured orders for two additional Pr. 22220 Arktika-class nuclear-powered icebreakers, which will be the 6th and 7th vessels of the class, have

I guess they fully replaced Ukrainian turbines if that's the case. Full steam ahead now.

India withdrew from PAKFA-FGFA because of dissatisfaction over ballooning costs, limited ToT, and allegedly slow progress on 2nd gen engines and less than desirable stealth profile. With India now prioritizing AMCA and Kaveri engine successor, I don't see Indians going back for a joint stealth project, likely just wait and see an off-the-shelf units.

The story of two crews about the modification of Russian T-72B3M tanks. The main difference between the T-72B3M and the T-72B3 is the new engine, the level of protection of the tank is now close to the T-90M. An updated version of the Sosna-U sight, a digital ballistic computer and a panoramic sight were installed at the workplace of the vehicle commander.

Footage of the Russian army using the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft artillery mount mounted on the MT-LB multi-purpose tractor. The 23 mm twin anti-aircraft gun was put into service in 1960. The ZU-23 anti-aircraft gun was delivered to dozens of countries and participated in many local wars. In the Russian army, the ZU-23-2 modification is widespread, which is installed on various mobile platforms, including armored vehicles such as the MT-LB multi-purpose tractor and the Rakushka BTR-MDM. Despite its age, the ZU-23 has not lost its importance as a means of destroying low-altitude, suddenly appearing targets and is used in air defense. The mass of the ZU-23 anti-aircraft gun in the stowed position is 950 kg, the rate of fire is up to 2000 rounds per minute, and the target engagement range is up to 3 km.
