Granted that shipyards aren't playing a crucial role in this war -- Ukraine has already essentially destroyed the Russian Black Sea Fleet -- this article foreshadows, I think, the coming economic crisis in Russia as a result of spending so much money on this war of aggression.

Quote:Yaroslavl Shipbuilding Plant employees say they have not received salaries for nearly two months, citing unpaid military orders and stalled production, according to Ukrainian outlet Ekonomichna Pravda.
The Yaroslavl Shipbuilding Plant, a Russian company under international sanctions for its cooperation with the country’s defense-industrial sector, has reportedly failed to pay its workers for nearly two months.
According to Ekonomichna Pravda, employees say the last payments were made in late September, and the plant has since placed much of its workforce on forced downtime.
“They promised to pay everything they owed on October 23, but again nothing,” one employee told. “At the meetings they say that the Ministry of Defense is not transferring money for the order.”
Public data shows the shipyard employs approximately 850 people and produces both civilian and military vessels, including landing ships, patrol boats, and other types of naval platforms. As noted by Ekonomichna Pravda, the plant plays a dual role in Russia’s shipbuilding sector, with output supporting both commercial and state clients.
The employee quoted by the outlet added that many workshops are currently shut down due to the wage dispute. Workers have been told that the lack of salary payments is due to “the employer’s fault,” and production has come to a near halt. In the meantime, some workers are considering leaving the plant altogether. “The prospects are vague,” one employee said.
