The only manufacturer of tanks in Russia, the Uralvagonzavod that manufactures T-90 tanks, stopped production according to the NEXTA agency, while the same happened at its tractor factory Chelyabinsk which makes armored vehicles. The main reason for this is the lack of components after the sanctions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
For Uralvagonzavod its main products include wagons, tanks, road construction vehicles, agricultural vehicles, metallurgical products, tools and consumer goods
The production of the main T-90 tanks represents 18–20% of the company’s total production.
In 2008, Uralvagozavod produced approximately 175 tanks: 62 T-90A for the Russian Ministry of Defense, 60 T-90S for India. This represents the highest level of tank production of UralVagonZavod and in Russia in general, since 1993.
In addition, according to the Moscow Defense Brief, it appears that in 2008 the number of tanks produced by the company was greater than the number of main tanks produced in all other countries of the world combined.
Wagons and the wider production of products for commercial purposes, amounted to 2/3 of the total production of the company in 2008. In 2011, the company’s revenue was $ 3 billion and net profit was $ 0.33 billion.
