Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Over the past three years, almost nothing has been done in Russia in the field of import substitution of electronic components for telecommunications equipment for the needs of the domestic military-industrial complex (MIC). The problems of the industry were named by Konstantin Lukin, General Director of Supertel OJSC, a supplier of communications equipment for the FSO, FSB and Ministry of Defense.

According to him, the problems relate to suppliers of communications equipment due to the requirements of the Ministry of Defense for import substitution of electronic component base (ECB) - the parts from which they assemble their products.

If you want to supply equipment to the Ministry of Defense, you must go through ECB approval. Experts are overloaded, and in a month they give you a conclusion on replacing your imported elements with domestic ones. And they issue it so categorically that you have only two options. Either you do nothing and, in principle, cannot produce products, or you start proving to them that you are not a deer, not a moose.
Konstantin Lukin, General Director of Supertel OJSC

Lukin noted that the necessary components are not currently produced in Russia, so it is necessary to order their development from scratch from manufacturers.

I requested all factories about all the ECB that needs to be replaced. The best term is 2 years for manufacturing, the worst is 5 years, and you need to order a large batch now, with a 100% prepayment. And when we talk about the fact that everything has been done in the "hardware", "nothing" has been done there, because it is impossible. <...> We are talking about very simple elements. I'm talking about "passives", I'm talking about very simple ECBs in reality. We are not talking about complex ECBs, which Russia does not yet have as a whole, and someday, of course, it will.
Konstantin Lukin, General Director of Supertel OJSC

Lukin emphasized that in the current circumstances, Russian manufacturers of telecommunications equipment find themselves in a very difficult situation.

Earlier  www1.ru reported that the military came up with a way to make ammunition for UAVs from an anti-tank mine.
