This was stated by the head of the department, Sergei Shoigu, during an inspection of Uraltransmash in Yekaterinburg.

In addition, he emphasized that today the demand for these weapons is extremely high.

“Therefore, I think that we will discuss today, make a decision and enter into a long-term contract for this work. Then the prospect will be clear,” the minister said.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian army will receive the first six new self-propelled howitzers "Coalition-SV".

Shoigu also demanded that the range of shells for the Coalition-SV be delivered on time.
