Russia Begins Mass Production of Domestic Radio Components

A Moscow factory has launched series production of buffer amplifiers, replacing key foreign parts in military, industrial, and space-grade electronics.

Russia is scaling up its domestic electronics industry with the launch of series production of radio components designed to replace foreign imports. The Pulsar Research and Production Enterprise in Moscow announced it has begun manufacturing over 30 types of buffer amplifiers for various radio applications.

These components are essential for boosting current without increasing voltage while maintaining a clean signal—crucial for radar and communications systems. Buffer amplifiers help reduce noise in high-frequency circuits and are widely used in everything from scanners and data storage systems to aerospace-grade electronics.

The new Russian-made components will substitute imported parts such as the AD829, LT1217, and OP284 models previously sourced from U.S. firms Analog Devices and Linear Technology.

Pulsar says all variants will enter full-scale production by the end of the year, with an initial batch of 2,000 units. Annual output is expected to reach up to 10,000 components, significantly reducing the country’s reliance on imported radio hardware.
