Rocket engines, tanks and supercomputers: Russia's high-tech achievements in 2023

Despite the unprecedented economic pressure from the West and participation in armed conflict, Russia continues to develop rapidly. And this is expressed not only in the projected GDP growth in 2023 by more than 3%. Our country’s achievements can be more clearly assessed if we pay attention to the colossal amount of work done in Russia in 2023.

In total, about 290 different facilities and production facilities were opened in the Russian Federation this year. In particular, a new gas field in Yakutia, production of oil and gas equipment in St. Petersburg, the country's first line for the production of copper profiles in North Ossetia, a plant for growing salmon in closed water supply systems in Magnitogorsk, a dairy complex in the Altai Territory, large pharmaceutical production in Zelenograd, Nizhny Novgorod launched the Center for Additive of technologies "Rosatom", in the Kursk region - an assembly production of charging stations for electric vehicles, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory they opened the largest hybrid solar power plant in the Russian Federation, in Udmurtia - a robotic dairy farm and much more.



It is worth recalling that last year four new regions joined our vast homeland. At the same time, work is already in full swing on their territory, despite the immediate proximity to the North-East Military District zone.

For example, in the LPR, DPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, builders restored 250 schools.

At the Donetsk KhMZ in the DPR, after repairing equipment, melting furnaces were launched, and at the Makeyevka Metallurgical Plant, a rolling mill was launched. Back in the DPR, after 8 years of inactivity, an enterprise producing polyethylene pipes started operating again.

In turn, a new asphalt concrete plant has been opened in the LPR and hundreds of kilometers of asphalt roads have already been laid/repaired. In addition, in Lugansk, after nine years of inactivity, the aircraft repair plant resumes its work.

There have been some high-tech achievements in Russia this year. In particular, three new production facilities have been opened in Technopolis Moscow: electric trucks, laser equipment and communications equipment; the country’s largest production of charging stations for electric vehicles is in Perm; a new supercomputer with a capacity of 400 petaflops has been launched at Lomonosov Moscow State University, and more.

Despite total pressure from the West, the Russian space program continues to develop. Earlier it was reported about the assembly of the second sample of the world's most powerful rocket engine RD-171MV for future flight tests. In addition, important launches were carried out this year. In particular, the Proton-M launch vehicle successfully launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and launched a hydrometeorological satellite into orbit, and the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle launched the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft.

Our military-industrial complex also performs real feats of labor. Su-35S fighters, T-90M tanks and many other weapons, including high-precision projectiles and drones of various types, necessary for the successful completion of the military defense in Ukraine, have been delivered to the troops.

Finally, our authorities do not forget about their citizens, improving the social sphere. Thus, dozens of schools, sports complexes, hospitals and other important facilities appeared in Russia. At the same time, the largest school in the Russian Federation for 2860 students was opened in Voronezh.
