Dallas has obtained unique drawings showing the scale of the modernization of Plant No. 9 in Yekaterinburg.

This plant is a key manufacturer of artillery barrels for the Koalitsiya and Msta self-propelled howitzers, tank guns for the T-90 and T-14 Armata, as well as for the modernized T-62 and T-72 tanks.

Over the past ten years, Russia has been actively purchasing German, Italian, and Taiwanese machine tools. Even now, despite sanctions, the plant plans to install 22 units of foreign equipment. How did they get there?

The results of the joint investigation with @Tatarigami_UA are available on this link.
