The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine's GUR has published another selection of foreign technological equipment used by the largest Russian manufacturer of tanks and armored vehicles, Uralvagonzavod. The relevant information was published on the War&Sanctions portal in the "Instruments of War" section.
The portal currently contains information about over 260 CNC machine tools and machining centers, as well as other foreign-made high-tech equipment used by the plant.
The vast majority of the equipment was purchased during the re-equipment of the Russian military-industrial complex during the period of the Russian Federation's preparation for a full-scale invasion. As noted by the head of the GUR, Lieutenant General Kirill Budanov, this process had been ongoing since 2007.
"Despite the fact that these purchases were made until 2022, documenting such equipment is important, as it requires regular maintenance, repair, and software updates," the intelligence agency explained.
It was added here that the Uralvagonzavod manufacturing company continues to expand production to meet Russian aggression. For example, in 2024, the plant launched a new production line for tank engines, equipped with high-tech CNC machine tools from leading European manufacturers.
"Such deliveries to the Russian Federation through third countries continue, although they have become more complicated, longer and more expensive due to the imposed sanctions," the GUR noted.
The administration emphasized that limiting the aggressor's ability to continue the war requires the consolidation of diplomatic efforts, the exchange of information, and the suppression of schemes to circumvent sanctions at the international level.
"Real investigations and increased accountability for violators of sanctions restrictions are key to reducing the supply channels of military equipment," the GUR summarized.
Recall that earlier the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published a 3D model, components and parts of a new UAV, which Russia is actively using on various fronts.
Previously, the GUR published in the "Weapon Components" section of the War&Sanctions portal the components of the UAV, which is used by the Russian Federation as a reconnaissance and decoy target to detect Ukrainian air defense positions and overload them.
