" A lot of good was manufactured in 2022, 2023 and even 2024. There has been more Chinese good. In this community, we are preparing materials about manufacturers, components and suppliers of aircraft, other drones, chemicals, rare earth metals and more. The Russian military-industrial complex is much more dependent on imports than they would like. We are identifying vulnerabilities and preparing a sanctions response ," Vlasyuk wrote.
