Kremlin's Economic Bulk: Russia's military enterprises are experiencing a crisis

To spread: in Russia, a crisis was recorded in the defense-industrial complex: military plants sharply reduced employees, and salaries in the industry fell for the first time since 2022. After a full -scale war, the Kremlin sharply increased the volume of weapons. The factories doubled the production of armored vehicles, several times - ammunition and launched mass production of drones.

At least 1,200 businesses have been working on the front needs, which have published about 600,000 vacancies since 2022. About it reports the newspaper "Novaya Gazeta. Europe". The hiring peak came in 2022: then almost 2% of all ads on hh. ru concerned work in the Defender. However, over time, the number of new vacancies began to decrease, and in the summer of 2025 it fell to a minimum - only 34. 5 thousand against 52 thousand last year.

In August, the demand for labor in the Russian MIC was the lowest than the years of the war, even lower than the invasion. The crisis is also confirmed by general information about the industry: according to Reuters, in July 2025 the production sector of the Russian Federation showed the fastest fall since March 2022. This is explained by poor demand and financial problems of enterprises. Another indicator of problems was the salary dynamics.

In 2022 it was in 2022 that provoked the promotion of wage racing inflation. But in the spring of 2025 the situation changed - the average salaries in the industry fell by 10% compared to 2024. This is the first decline in the income of military factories since the beginning of the war, while wages are still growing in the country.
