The Army General emphasized the importance of promptly replenishing weapon supplies in the conditions of the ongoing military operation in Ukraine. He highlighted that the ability of Russian enterprises to increase the production of artillery systems and rocket launchers, as well as minimize delivery times to the Armed Forces, directly affects the solution of this task.
Shoigu also discussed the organization of work on the development and increase in the production of the mentioned weapons and ammunition, taking into account the additional needs of the troops.
