Russian forces are making use of newly developed, domestically produced navigation systems, according to military expert Dmitry Kuzyakin.
Kuzyakin said the primary advantage of the Russian-made systems over alternatives lies in their software, though further technical details were not provided.
The development points to Russia's continued push to expand domestic production of military hardware and reduce reliance on imported components, a priority that has taken on added significance amid sanctions and restrictions on technology exports.
Navigation systems are a critical component of modern military equipment, supporting everything from precision-guided munitions to vehicle and personnel positioning. Analysts have said domestically produced alternatives can offer militaries greater supply-chain security, even when performance trade-offs exist compared with systems built from internationally sourced components.
No further details were immediately available on the scale of deployment of the new systems or the specific units making use of them.
