When you look at scale of operation. there is highly likely China has parts in every thing to boost production to three shifts.
see this example. a version of Kamaz truck use parts from friendly countries. they use countries not a country or not naming a country. meaning that country is afraid of sanctions.
now we dont know whether the parts made in friendly countries or just re-export.
China is user of S400 so they will know most of parts by now. same for Mi-171.

Chinese trucks are based on European designs; sourcing them is as easy as Ali Baba saying, "Open Sesame".
The point i am making is building weapons and industrial products in peace time is different than this high tempo operation both for building new and current maintenance.. so likely use of imported components.
107 Civilian helicopters ordered for next 3 years. now think how many military transport helicopters they will be actually building.

The equipment was equipped with new navigation equipment, reconnaissance and surveillance equipment. Now the gunners of the machine use modern, computerized fire control systems. The vehicle has a SBR-5M Fara-VR ground reconnaissance radar, we talked about it, a link to it is in the comments to the video. BRM-1K speeds up to 65 km/h on the highway and up to 8 km/h afloat. The weight of the machine is 13 tons. Crew - six people.
The Russian army began to use the new Khosta self-propelled guns. The 120-mm self-propelled artillery mount 2S34 "Khosta" is a deep modernization of the self-propelled guns 2S1 "Gvozdika" and was developed in 2008. The vehicle is based on the chassis of the self-propelled guns "Carnation", in order to improve the performance of the new self-propelled guns, it was decided to replace the main gun. Instead of the 122 mm 2A31 rifled howitzer, the 2A80-1 120 mm gun is now used. The gun is equipped with special recoil devices that allow firing in a wide range of elevation angles at a distance of up to 14 km, self-propelled guns ammunition 40 shells. In addition to the new weapon, to improve the performance of shooting, they began to use new fire control equipment and an automatic system of topographic location and orientation. High hopes were pinned on the new self-propelled guns, but shortcomings were revealed during the tests. Some of them were related to the chassis, which was unstable. The car did not go into series, only about 50 of them were produced. Despite this, the gunners spoke well of her. The weight of the self-propelled guns is 16 tons, the crew is 4 people, the cruising range is up to 500 kilometers, at a speed of up to 60 km/h. Estimated cost of self-propelled guns 2S34 "Khost" 300 thousand dollars.
In Russia, the development of ekranoplans has begun again. Petrozavodsk began testing the experimental ekranoplan "Orion-25", built at the local shipbuilding enterprise "Avangard". The exoplanet is unique because it can reach high speed like an airplane, and at the same time it is adapted for autonomous navigation, like a ship. The Orion-25 eco plan can be used for border protection, military and scientific purposes, and for disaster relief. It should be noted that "Orion-25" is not the first ekranoplan, the tests of which began in Petrozavodsk. In 2012, Orion-20 was developed, but after a serious accident, its development was suspended. The Orion-25 ekranoplan is capable of flying at low altitude from the surface of the earth, water, snow or ice. It develops a speed of up to 500 km / h, its flight range is up to 3600 km, and its duration is up to 11 hours. The fuel consumption of an ekranoplan is small due to the ship's screen effect.
