Russian Defence Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu holds meeting on issues related to development of artillery
'In the conditions of the special military operation it is especially important to quickly replenish stocks of means of defeat. The solution of this task directly depends on the ability of enterprises to increase the production of artillery systems, multiple-launch rocket systems, as well as to minimise the terms of their delivery to the troops,' said Sergei Shoigu.
Russian Defence Minister stressed that federal executive bodies have taken measures to increase the production of artillery systems.
'Federal executive authorities have taken measures to increase their production. The Russian government has given the defence industry the right to use all reserves, including mobilisation capacities,' said Sergei Shoigu.
The head of the Russian military department added that the Russian Defence Ministry has simplified the contracting procedure, reduced the scope of testing, and lowered the requirements for the selection of component parts, provided that the quality of the final products is maintained.
'Today we will discuss how work is organised to develop and increase the production of cannon artillery, multiple-launch rocket systems, and high-precision ammunition, taking into account the additional demand of the Armed Forces,' said the Russian Defence Minister.
