"Unprecedented pace": the Russian Federation increases the production of weapons and equipment - the Economist (infographics)

The material mentioned several Russian defense enterprises that specialize in the production of military equipment and shows the intensity of construction. In the first example, the Omsk Pank Plant is considered: modernizing the old T-80, working around the clock. If, after the start of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in February 2022, the production increased slightly, then it later decreased.

This was the case until the middle of 2023, when the rate of production increased again and has not fallen since then. The situation is similar in other defense-industrial enterprises of Russia, where tanks are manufactured. The publication gave an infographic that illustrates that the largest tank plant of the Russian Federation "Uralvagonzavod" demonstrated much higher activity in 2024 than in the previous one. The Yekaterinburg Plant # 9 produces barrels for howitzers and tanks.

Satellite images show artillery guns and guns parked in the open. Nearby is the production of "Innovator", which produces the ballistic missiles "Iskander". In addition, the signs of strong growth at the Volgograd Titan-Barikad plant were recorded, where the Iskander starting installations are being built, as well as several other enterprises of this type.

The Sverdlovsky Plant in Dzerzhinsk, which specializes in the production of chemicals for artillery shells and managed airbombs, is considered to be the largest Russian explosive enterprise. There has been an increase in production rates in recent months. Shahaned type Droni-Kamikadze developed in Iran Shahaneda has been attacked by Ukraine in recent months. Their production in Russia has also increased accordingly.
