The inspection took place as part of a trip to the troops of the Central Military District.
“At the enterprises of the Kalashnikov concern, Sergei Shoigu inspected the operation of the production lines of UAV samples supplied under the State Defense Order to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,” the Ministry of Defense reported.
As President Vladimir Putin noted, there are difficulties at one of the special operation sites due to drones. According to him, UAVs solve problems at the front very effectively; he described their use with the words “Cheap and cheerful, and very effective.”
In 2024, supplies of drones, including naval ones, to the Russian army will grow, emphasized Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov.
