Russia is reducing the production of warships due to a lack of foreign components caused by a lack of money and sanctions against the Russian Federation due to the fact that it unleashed a full-scale war against Ukraine, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

In particular, by the beginning of April, due to the difficult financial situation, all work was suspended at the Vostochnaya Verf enterprise in Vladivostok.. Contract deadlines are broken, people are being fired, preparations are underway for bankruptcy.

Vostochnaya Verf still has to fulfill government orders totaling 35 billion rubles, including the construction and delivery of two offshore tankers, two small missile ships, two mobile offshore berths, repair and maintenance of ships and boats of various types.

Due to the lack of foreign components and the absence of Russian or Asian analogues, it was necessary to limit the production, in particular, of steering columns, navigation systems, radio stations. The production of powder charges for naval artillery has also been suspended..
