The head of state emphasized the need for close joint work of the Russian Armed Forces and the defense industry, in particular, in the preparation or adjustment of the state defense order or setting long-term tasks for industry.
“We will definitely discuss these issues at the upcoming board of the Ministry of Defense,” he said.
Putin also set the task of not only increasing the amount of military equipment produced, but also improving its characteristics.
Earlier, during a meeting of the Coordinating Council to meet the needs of the army, the president already demanded continuous improvement of Russian weapons.
