TEHRAN- Russia will reportedly change German-made hydropower-plant turbines with Iranian-made ones as Western sanctions have actually stopped operations of Siemens in Russia since February 2022.
As RT reported, MGT-70 gas turbine units are copies of Siemens hardware, developed by the Islamic Republic.
The country obtained a license for their assembly and localized production before a recent wave of anti-Iran sanctions took effect.Currently, Russia can locally produce small and medium turbines, but gadgets with a big capability of between 100MW and 120MW were produced at a Siemens assembly plant in Russia.The Iranian turbines might potentially replace equipment produced by the German commercial giant, which halted operations in Russia last year due to sanctions.
