Article is analysis from April last year. A lot can happen in 1+ year. They're on war time production now, settling for lower quality / easier to manufacture components considering hardware attrition levels. The $$$ involved for barings in this post also looks pretty small, 3m per month of barings is in line with reconstituting some domestic capability. Military will get priority, plenty of Chinese manufacturing expertise to draw from to setup plants if RU willing to pay. Shortfall is going to be born by civilian sectors - I think that will take a years to catch-up.
