1–3 — “Omsk Rubber.”

4–5 — “Togliatti Rubber.”

Synthetic rubbers are widely used in the military-industrial complex. They are used in missile and aviation fuel and are also a key component for aviation—lubricants, sealants, gaskets, and electrical insulation. In December 2025, Russian media boasted about how “Omsk Rubber” helps make up for import-substituted products for Russia’s defense sector and Aerospace Forces (screenshot 6).

“Togliatti Rubber” has already been hit at least for the third time; the last strike, if I am not mistaken, was in June.

Strikes hit rubber plants in Omsk and Togliatti.

Import substitution failed another inspection.
