Dec 27, 2024, 09:51 AM
Russia's experimental 'Oreshnik' missile, which was recently used in a strike against Ukraine, has been found to rely on advanced Western manufacturing technologies, according to a Financial Times report. Despite ongoing sanctions, Russian defense companies, including the Moscow Institute for Thermal Technology and Sozvezdie concern, are actively seeking workers with expertise in German and Japanese CNC systems for missile production. The reliance on Western technology highlights the challenges Russia faces in achieving self-sufficiency in its military capabilities. The Oreshnik missile incorporates components from Western brands like FANUC, Siemens, and Heidenhain, indicating that Russian manufacturers are still dependent on foreign technology for precision manufacturing.
