The Russian defence industry has doubled production since last year, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday addressing the country’s Military-Industrial Commission.
“The production of ordnance, as well as communication, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare systems, more than doubled. The troops received over 4,000 armoured vehicles and 180 combat aircraft and helicopters,” Putin said in his opening statement at the top defence production planning body. His opening remarks were posted on the Kremlin website.
He stated that over 1.5 million drones of various types were delivered, including about 4,000 so-called FPV (first person view) drones equipped with virtual reality control systems supplied to the frontlines daily, but their number was still not enough.
