Russia Bypasses Sanctions to Acquire Rolls-Royce-Level Tech for Mass Production of Cheap Jet Drones
Russia has bypassed Western sanctions to acquire advanced 3D-printing equipment comparable to technology used in Rolls-Royce manufacturing, helping Moscow cut the cost of its jet-powered drones roughly in half as it rapidly expands production, The Economist reported on September 1.
The Kremlin has managed to circumvent sanctions and acquire equipment for 3D-printing turbine blades for drone jet engines, similar to that used in Western factories like Rolls-Royce, according to The Economist, citing a..
As a result, the cost of Russian-made jet drones has been halved or more, to approximately $50,000-$70,000, and is expected to continue to decrease, the publication notes.This significantly worsens Ukraine's prospects for the upcoming winter. A source...
Russia has reduced the cost of jet drones to 50 thousand dollars, Ukraine's air defense forces shoot down only 30% of such targets — what are the risks for energy industry TSN.ua (news 1+1).
The Kremlin has managed to circumvent sanctions and buy equipment to 3D print turbine parts, similar to that used in Rolls-Royce's Western factories. The cost per unit of a jet drone with such a turbine has fallen by at least half, to about $50—70,000, and will continue to decline.
