They procure many items in limited quantity through backdoor deals or via open civilian markets and then goes on full soviet style reverse engineering!
They have been quite successful so far as a good deal of information on construction and manufacturing is already available online. They have been able to replicate complex CMC machines in house too; getting them was pain in d'ass during Soviet times.
