The minister drew the senators' attention to the scale of the tasks being solved by the Russian Armed Forces during the special military operation.
“To understand the scale, we only supply 1.5 thousand tons of water to the armed forces every day - this is only drinking water. We wash approximately 350 tons of clothes per day. That is, you need to understand that this is not all happening in one place “This is on a huge front line, which, if we take it in general, is more than 1,000 km,” Shoigu emphasized, noting that “all of this, naturally, must be managed, supplying up to 10 thousand per day to the armed forces. and there are up to 15 thousand tons of various kinds of materials per day.” “This is ammunition, fuel. Everything related to the repair and maintenance of equipment,” he added.
Shoigu also emphasized the importance of the problems solved by industry. “It’s impossible not to talk about what our industry and the industry in the regions are doing. We can give many examples, very striking examples, when young people who have nothing to do with the defense industry raised and promoted production within a month,” the minister noted .
At the end of the meeting, Matvienko thanked Shoigu for the joint work, noting the constructive nature of the meeting.
