China has stopped supplying components for secret radios to the russian Defense Ministry
The devices, which were declared to be russian-made, were purchased in China almost ready-made
Angstrem, a russian enterprise producing special-purpose radio communications equipment, has disrupted a state defense order. In this regard, the plant, which produces portable radio stations for the russian Ministry of Defense, Azart, came under state control.
Source. RBC reports this with reference to sources familiar with the situation.
According to one of the sources, problems arose with the supply of components. For the Azart secret communication radio stations, they came from China. In fact, the devices, which were declared as a russian development based exclusively on domestic components, were purchased in China almost ready-made.
Only the final assembly with the installation of some components took place in russia. As a result, 6.7 billion rubles were stolen from a contract worth 18.5 billion rubles, Kommersant wrote.
Now Angstrom is being taken over by a subsidiary of the Rostec holding, as it "failed to fulfill the tasks of providing the troops with communication systems," the RBC source said.
Background. As reported, China has set a historical record in terms of exports to russia. The largest share in exports is occupied by cars, followed by electronics.
