Putin ordered to increase the production of counter-battery and air defense systems
IZHEVSK, September 19. /TASS/. Russian defense enterprises must increase the production of counter-battery and air defense equipment, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation.
“We need to increase the production volumes of counter-battery and air defense weapons. We talked a lot about this and I gave a number of instructions to supplement the supply schedule for 2024 with the corresponding items,” he said.
The head of state also drew attention to the fact that following the results of eight months of this year, organizations of the defense industrial complex managed to maintain a stable pace of work and not only fulfill the delivery schedule in general, but also increase the output of military products in certain areas. Thus, “the production volume of the main types of armored vehicles has more than doubled compared to last year, and the production of especially popular weapons has tripled,” Putin noted.
