In Russia, due to sanctions, the largest plants for the repair and manufacture of armored vehicles stopped

The Russian enterprises "

The Russian army, faced with serious losses in manpower and equipment in Ukraine, is in dire need of repair and restoration of damaged weapons and armored military equipment.

But due to European sanctions, Russian enterprises have stopped receiving foreign-made components and cannot meet the needs of the aggressor army.. Also, these enterprises cannot assemble armored vehicles for export..

The entire fire control system in the modernized Russian tanks relies on French thermal imagers, which have been supplied through Belarus in circumvention of sanctions since 2014, Defense Express writes..

Western sanctions will have a similar cascading effect on the entire military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. We are talking not only about the cessation of the production of weapons that appeared after the 2000s, but even about the repair of previously manufactured equipment and weapons..
