About this, as reported by TASS, he said during a meeting of the military-industrial commission.
“In a number of cases, as practice shows, obvious mistakes were made in the planning and organization of work on import substitution,” the head of state said.
According to him, as a result of this, in 2018, the deadlines for completing several tasks of the state defense order had to be shifted.
The President added that, taking into account the completeness and interconnectedness of all plans for the rearmament of the army and navy, such failures should be quickly eliminated.
He instructed the Cabinet and relevant departments to take additional measures to ensure technological independence in the production of military products, including the one that is at the design stage.
Earlier, Putin called on all organizations of the military-industrial complex to boldly enter the domestic and foreign markets.
