Please join the Russian Roulette podcast for a live video episode diving into our latest report: Rebuilding to Reconquer: Can Russia's Defense Firms Deliver?
The discussion will explore our comprehensive analysis of Russia's defense industry, what rapid production growth since 2022 says about Russia’s war effort, and the long-term implications for NATO’s defense planning.
The report offers the first in-depth look at five Russian defense firms spanning armored vehicles, air defense, electronic warfare, artillery and precision weapons, and drones. Tracing each firm's history, production scale before and after the invasion, revenue and procurement patterns, labor constraints, and foreign supplier networks — experts will assess Russia's capacity to sustain both current wartime output and future reconstitution.
