Russia Nuclear, Missile Industries Completely Domestic – Electronics CEO

RIA Novosti, PUBLISHED 13.04.2014

Russia is not purchasing foreign electronics equipment for its nuclear missile shield as all the necessary electronics are being developed and manufactured within the country, the chief of Russia’s state-owned electronics holding company told journalists Wednesday.

“Our first-priority task was to ensure the manufacture of the electronic component base for critical zones within Russia’s defense sector. And the nuclear missile shield is now one of these critical zones,” said Andrei Zverev, the CEO of Roselektronika.

The CEO added that the task had already been completed.

“One-hundred percent of electronic equipment for these purposes [nuclear and missile industries] is being manufactured in Russia,” he stressed.

Zverev specified that the bulk of the world’s electronic component industry is in Southeast Asia, with about 70 percent of global electronics production coming from Taiwan alone.

Roselektronika, Russia’s umbrella company for national electronics makers, produces electronic components mainly for military needs. As a holding trust, Roselektronika comprises 123 radio electronic enterprises.
