The Main Intelligence Directorate has identified 48 Russian medical factories supplying the war effort
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has released a detailed diagram of the operations of the Russian holding company "Shvabe," which is part of the state corporation "Rostec."
The companies within this group use a “medical” cover to manufacture high-tech components that are later installed on missiles and drones.
According to military intelligence, despite their direct involvement in supplying the aggressor’s army, a significant portion of these factories still evade international restrictions.
The Russian regime manipulates its status as a manufacturer of civilian equipment to procure foreign technologies and raw materials.
“Shvabe” positions itself as a manufacturer of medical equipment.
However, the holding’s enterprises are involved in the manufacture of strike and reconnaissance drones, targeting systems for aviation and armored vehicles, as well as components for ballistic missiles.
According to a report by the Main Intelligence Directorate, 30 of the holding’s 48 companies are still not subject to restrictions by any country in the sanctions coalition.
This allows the enemy to freely obtain resources for the production of photodiodes for Iskander-M missiles and photodetectors for Krasnopol-M2 guided projectiles.
Among the key players evading accountability, intelligence analysts name the “Moscow Sapphire Plant” and the “Foton Central Design Bureau.”
JSC “Germanium” also plays a special role, producing specific compounds for the occupiers’ infrared optics and radio-electronic industries.
The holding actively uses its foreign assets to circumvent export controls.
The structure includes the Chinese company “SHVABE OPTO-ELECTRONICS” and the Belarusian enterprise “Shvabe (Minsk),” which expands the Kremlin’s ability to gain access to scarce components.
