NAPK has launched a single open database of foreign equipment used by Russia to produce its own weapons – a special directory site “Instruments of War” is already available as a separate section of the site at this link.
It is no secret that despite numerous sanctions, Russia has access to Western technologies and components. Moreover, in the second year of a full-scale war against Ukraine, Russia is increasing production of its own weapons, which are killing Ukrainians and destroying entire cities. An unprecedented number of sanctions, unfortunately, do not prevent Russian terrorists from continuing to receive the necessary foreign equipment and spare parts for missile production. Unfortunately, a large number of Western companies still continue to operate in Russia, supporting the economy of the aggressor country and the production of weapons, not to mention loopholes and complex schemes that allow them to circumvent sanctions. Just today the EU Council approved the 13th package of sanctions against Russia, and the United States, for its part, announced the introduction of more than 500 new sanctions measures.
The goal of the new initiative is to create a single directory of foreign equipment that Russia uses to produce weapons.
*Over the past 20 years, most Russian weapons have been and continue to be produced on the machines of the countries of the sanctions coalition and their allies, since usually the aggressors themselves do not have the necessary experience, expertise, logistics and technological support.< /p>
South Korean and Japanese-German machines are used by a Russian plant that produces missiles for the S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, which regularly bombard Kharkov. And Czech machines work at the Watkinsk plant in the Russian Federation, which produces Iskander-M ballistic missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles «Topol-M «”.

More than 270 pieces of various foreign equipment have already been published in the new module “Instruments of War” – according to NAPC, there are no such open reference books in the world. Using filters in a few clicks you can find detailed information about foreign equipment that Russian and other military enterprises use to produce weapons and military equipment. In particular, the database contains:
- brands of foreign equipment that still ends up in the Russian Federation;
- models of individual machines and their technical characteristics;
- sanctioned Russian manufacturers using foreign equipment, as well as their lethal products.
The new module complements the unified database of foreign components in weapons, which NAPC launched earlier. It should strengthen export controls by international partners and help track dual-use and military supply chains to prevent Russia and other sanctioned regimes from using foreign precision equipment to produce their own weapons.
