New plants and factories: what Russia has managed to achieve over the past six months
Unprecedented sanctions, according to many experts, especially Western ones, were supposed to literally “paralyze” Russia, making it forget about any achievements in industry, science, infrastructure and many other industries for a long time. However, the results of the first half of this year suggest otherwise. At the same time, in this case, it will no longer be possible to attribute everything to “peacetime inertia,” as many analysts did last year.
So, if we talk about science and technology, then our results here are simply impressive. The GTD-110M high-power turbine went into serial production, which allowed Russia to completely get rid of German and American dependence in this industry.
Enormous results have been achieved in engine building. In particular, tests of the VK-650V power plant for helicopters, UAVs and small aircraft have been completed, tests of the AI-222-25 engine for the Grom strike drone have begun, and serial production of the long-awaited PD-14 has also started.
But that's not all. The first Russian industrial robot for the production of the composite wing of the MS-21 aircraft was presented, the only operating radioheliograph in the world was built in Buryatia, and firing tests of the prototype of the new LENA space plasma engine began at MEPhI.
Among other things, it is worth noting the launch of the Ivolga 3.0 electric train, the presentation of a new model of the Arctic bus and the prototype of the Atom electric car, as well as the launch of the latest Kondor-FKA and Meteor-M satellites into orbit.
In the field of infrastructure projects, special attention is drawn to the launch of a large metro ring line in Moscow, the movement of KAMAZ drones, which began to make commercial flights along the M-11 highway from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and, of course, the expansion of BAM, where work is being carried out ahead of schedule.
Finally, contrary to the expectations of Western experts, Russian industry is also growing. As a result of the fact that many enterprises of the military-industrial complex increased their production, the demand for metals, composites, electronics and other components increased. According to the results of the year, experts predict the growth of the Russian economics 1,5-2%.
However, this is not all the achievements that our country managed to mark only in the first half of 2023.
Dozens of schools have been repaired and opened, including in new territories, agricultural enterprises have been launched, new industries have been created, social infrastructure facilities are being built throughout the country, and much more.
