First Deputy Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Chupriyan noted the lack of domestic equipment and components

According to RIA Novosti, he said this while speaking at a plenary meeting of the International Fire and Rescue Congress.

“A separate issue on the agenda is personal protective equipment for firefighters and rescuers.

So, for the bulk of Russian enterprises, the problem today is the lack of a sufficient amount of raw materials in the country.

And the share of foreign components for the production of protective equipment for firefighters is 100%.

In the production of helmets and helmets, exclusively foreign-made plastic is used,” said Chupriyan.

Earlier, RBC, citing sources, reported that the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is developing a new model of import substitution in industry, which involves the transfer of a number of industries to a “quasi-plan”.
