Details. It is noted that the enemy's defence industry enterprises, where space reconnaissance equipment is manufactured, have an "acute" shortage of electronics components. Thus, the production of key elements for intelligence facilities has almost stopped.
The DIU emphasises that the project of Repey high-orbit electronic intelligence system was postponed from 2022 to 2024, the project of Gerakl-KV global space command and relay system – from 2023 to 2025, and the project of Sfera unified satellite communication system of the 3rd stage – from 2025 to 2027.
The intelligence officers claim that several other sectors of the russian economy will soon be under the threat of termination of existence due to sanctions and mobilisation.
