As noted, the update on Wednesday includes, in particular, lathe, milling, band saw, thread-cutting, grinding, and other CNC (computer numerical control) machines.
They are used at: the Fakel Machine-Building Design Bureau (also known as OKB-2), one of the oldest Soviet-Russian design bureaus specializing in the development of guided surface-to-air missiles; the Sozvezdiye concern, which unites enterprises developing and producing electronic warfare (EW) and communications systems; and JSC Proton, which among other things produces diode modules for the S-71 “Kover” cruise aircraft missiles, previously reported.
