The Russian steel industry repeated the record of 2021

📈 In the past year, Russia produced 75.8 million tons of steel, returning to the 2021 level when 76 million tons were produced, and surpassing the 2022 level by 5.6%.

☝️ All of this occurred under the conditions of sanctions. Europe, which was a key sales market, banned the import of Russian hot-rolled and cold-rolled products, transformer steel, galvanized and stainless steel, seamless pipes, etc. Quotas are imposed on steel semi-finished products.

Metallurgists had to urgently reconfigure export flows. Many companies worked very efficiently and were able to quickly redirect the main export volumes to new directions or to the domestic market.

👉 Experts note that major steel producers are showing almost 100% capacity utilization, and domestic demand is growing due to the increase in construction and infrastructure projects.

What is known about new Vityaz anti-drone vehicle being built for Russia's special forces

A new light military utility vehicle that may help keep reconnaissance units and special operations teams safe from enemy drones is currently being developed in Russia.

According to Konstantin Bagdasarov, CEO of Argo, the company that developed Vityaz, new anti-drone vehicle can be employed to provide additional protection for recon units when they deploy towards the front line.

✔️ The new vehicle is based on the design of the UAZ 469 off-road military utility vehicle and has a 100 horsepower engine with a torque output of 250 Nm.

✔️ The vehicle’s chief anti-drone defense comes in the form of the Volnorez, a compact modular electronic countermeasure system that weighs only 13 kilograms. Volnorez is specifically designed to be easy to use and easy to reprogram in case the enemy changes its drones’ frequencies.

✔️ Vityaz can also be equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun mount with a co-axial KPV heavy machine gun.

The first prototype is nearly finished and is expected to be sent for field testing soon.
