#Import Substitution

Novosibirsk has launched carbon nanotube production worth 680 million rubles to protect industrial facilities from drone attacks and fires.

Russia's Soyuz-5 rocket has received a domestic Elbrus processor in the ground control system segment. The new computing systems increased data exchange speeds and are preparing for flight models in 2027.

ANo "PCB Consortium" (Yadro, GS Group, Rezonit, Tekhnotek) is asking Minpromtorg to remove mandatory raw-material localization from Decree No. 719: switching to domestic materials threatens a 2–8-fold price increase and production disruptions in the peak fourth quarter.

Yadro's procurement monitoring recorded a 35% rise in the average cost of a standard server in Russia in the first half of 2026 — to 2.5 million rubles. The main cause was a memory shortage against the backdrop of the AI boom.

Minpromtorg of Russia has launched the development of a new certification system for microelectronics chemicals, allocating 54 million rubles for the project. 🧪🇷🇺 The goal is to move away from Soviet standards and create a base for import substitution by 2027. Plans also include a reform of localization assessment and the launch of production for 56 types of specialized materials. 📉🚀
