In Russia, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, industries related to the military-industrial complex have entered a period of stagnation or production decline. Prior to this, they had shown double-digit growth rates for almost three consecutive years, Russian media reported, citing Rosstat data, UNN reports.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

It is noted that Russia's military-industrial sector, which accounted for trillions in budget expenditures, has faced a sharp slowdown in growth.<\/p>\n

Thus, the production of finished metal products, which grew by 26.4% in 2023 and by 31.6% in 2024, decreased by 1.6% year-on-year in September 2025. The production of vehicles, including tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, slowed its growth to 6% compared to 61% a month earlier. Compared to August, the decline was 20%.<\/p>\n

According to analysts, the decline in defense industries dragged down the entire manufacturing industry index, which grew by only 0.4% in September compared to 2.4% in August. Natalia Orlova, chief economist at Alfa-Bank, attributes this to budget problems.<\/p>\n

According to her, the machine-building complex, which is dependent on state defense orders, also showed a decrease of 0.1% after a 15.7% increase a month earlier. The expert believes that tightening fiscal policy could lead to a further slowdown in industrial growth in the coming months.<\/p>\n

According to the Foreign Intelligence Service, overdue wage arrears in Russia reached 1.95 billion rubles at the end of September 2025, which is 18.6% more than a month earlier. Compared to September 2024, the amount of debt increased fourfold.<\/p>\n
