The substances involved included ammonium nitrate, TNT, and sugar.
Yusuf Krymshamkhalov and Adam Dekkushev rented premises for the manufacture and packaging of explosives, a concrete mixer for mixing components, and a machine for sewing bags with explosives.

The explosive consisted of aluminum powder, ammonium nitrate, TNT, and sugar, mixed using aluminum powder and a mixture acquired by Kh.M. Abaev and "Saleh".
The members packaged the manufactured explosive into 280 specially purchased bags.
