A worldwide war condition blurs the distinction between war and non-war, where “war becomes the basic principle of the organization of social life, and politics is only one of its instruments or embodiments”
A. Negri, M. Hardt “Empire”
Despite the apparent political autonomy of neighboring countries (former Soviet countries: Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, Moldova, etc.), russia continues to use its territorial neighbors as a transit zone to bypass the blockage of supplies of components for the military-industrial complex. The borders of sovereign territories are being re-drawn under the pressure of the diffuse space of the russian network of military contractors. Corrupt bypass routes for shadow imports become active and visible.
Shadow imports are necessary for russia to continue to replenish stocks and service the military-industrial complex.
The russian military-industrial complex is not independent and critically depends on imported components.
This is especially true for UAVs, secure communications, microelectronics, and machine tools for manufacturing parts.
