Kontekstas
Omsk Kauchuk produces synthetic rubber and other chemical products, including acetone, isopropyl alcohol, phenol and fuel components. Installation D-3 produces methyl tert-butyl ether, a high-octane additive used in automobile gasoline. The OZON logistics complex in Omsk opened in September 2024 and covers 40,000 square metres; OSINT analysts reported that it was used to meet the needs of Russia's Ministry of Defence.
