Since 2014, sanctions have been constantly imposed on the Russian Federation, designed, in particular, to cut off the country's defense industry from Western components. However, Moscow has allegedly found ways to circumvent these prohibitions.
- it says in the French edition of Air & Cosmos.
As indicated, it became known recently that Kazakhstan is allegedly circumventing sanctions.
- it is stated in the publication.
As noted, the list of this equipment allegedly includes multifunctional SMD55S and SMD66S displays, TLS2020 radio navigation and landing system, TACAN-NC12 radio navigation system, HUD 3022 windshield indicators (ILS), SIGMA 95NAA hybrid INS, which allows integrating satellite communications equipment.
According to the author, this equipment is not key to the operation of a fighter, but it is extremely important for Russian crews, since displays provide valuable information about the aircraft and its surroundings; HUD allows the pilot to focus on aerial targets, having basic data on the condition of the machine in front of his eyes; other systems make it possible to determine the exact location of the board.

As indicated, Russia foresaw this excessive dependence on foreign components and began the development of equivalent systems, such as the Russian KSH-1KL ILS [possibly ICSH-1M], to replace the HUD 3022.
- the author believes.
As noted, in 2016, the Kazakhstan ARC Group received a state license for the export, import, installation, commissioning, modernization, operation, storage, repair and maintenance of aircraft and spare parts. In particular, it is the exclusive distributor of Safran Electronics Defense in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, simultaneously ensuring the promotion of French products in these two countries.
The publication explains that Kazakhstan has imposed sanctions against Russia:
- it is said in the French press.
Allegedly, Moscow has allegedly created many parallel trade chains around the world, which allows it to obtain the components necessary for military equipment.
- it is noted in the French press, denying the involvement of the country's industrial sector in the re-export of parts for the Su-30SM from Kazakhstan.
