Russia launches military marketplace 'Roi.Market'
A marketplace for the military will appear in Russia. The Center for Drone Systems and Technologies is taking the dual-purpose goods marketplace 'Roy.Market' out of pilot mode and relaunching it as a full-fledged marketplace for the military, reports 'Kommersant'.
Consensus
- The Center for Drone Systems and Technologies (ЦБСТ) is transitioning the 'Roi.Market' platform from pilot mode to full operation.
- The platform sells dual-use goods, including drone components, personal protective equipment, electronics, and field uniforms.
- Starting August 1, the platform has been updated to allow independent sellers to manage their own listings, pricing, inventory, and orders.
- Sellers include those already working with Wildberries and Ozon.
- The goal is to expand the catalog to over 10,000 product positions by 2027.
Points of divergence
- Ukraine has been attacking Wildberries warehouses since mid-July, calling them 'lawful military targets' because they sell drone equipment, military uniforms, and other war-related goods. — meduza
