Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces of Russian Federation Vladimir Putin holds extended session of Russian Defence Ministry Board
Today, the National Defence Control Centre of the Russian Federation hosted an extended meeting of the Russian Ministry of Defence Board, at which the results of the work of the Russian Armed Forces in 2024 were summarised and the tasks for the next period were defined.
The meeting was opened by the President of the Russian Federation - Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces Vladimir Putin.
‘Comrades,
Today, at an expanded meeting of the Defence Ministry Board, we will discuss the main results of our work in 2024 and chart objectives for strengthening the defence capability of the Armed Forces and their future development.
I would like to emphasise from the very beginning that the outgoing year has been crucial in achieving the goals of the special military operation. Thanks to the professionalism and courage of our soldiers, the heroic efforts of defence industry workers, and the truly nationwide support for the army and navy, Russian troops maintain a strong strategic initiative along the entire line of contact.
This year alone, 189 communities have been liberated. I would like to warmly thank our heroes – officers and men who are selflessly and staunchly fighting on the frontlines, the personnel of the Defence Ministry, the National Guard, our special services and other security and law enforcement agencies that effectively accomplish all objectives, no matter how complicated. They do not spare themselves or their lives for the sake of victory and the Fatherland.
It is our duty to always remember our comrades-in-arms who died while defending the Motherland and our nation, and to always care for their families and children. I have said this many times, but I will repeat once again that their children are also our children. We must never forget this.
I would like to ask everyone to honour the memory of our fallen comrades with a moment of silence.
The full text of the speech by Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin is available on the Russian President's website.

Andrei Belousov, Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, delivered a report at the extended session of the Board.
‘Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief!
Honoured comrades!
Dear guests!
This year, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation performed tasks assigned by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief during the relentless confrontation, which continues to expand and intensify, with the Collective West.
In these conditions, efforts of the Russian Defence Ministry must be organised taking into account the following key factors.
The first is active warfare in the course of the special military operation. That includes performance of separate tasks and maintaining military presence in the Central Asia, Africa, Caucasus, and Transnistria.
The second is ensuring full readiness to any situation in the medium term. That included a possible military conflict with NATO in Europe in the next decade. Decisions that were made at the NATO summit last July indicate such a scenario. The same is stated in the doctrinal documents of the USA and other NATO member-states.
The third factor is swift development of cross-cutting technologies. Such as artificial intelligence and big data processing, robotics, high speed exchange of encrypted data, machine-to-machine communication. quantum computing and communication. These technologies are fundamentally changing the nature of warfare at all levels, namely, tactical, operational, and strategic.
According with the requests of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, in these conditions, the Armed Forces must become more adaptable and implement innovations, including innovations in the civilian sector.
The fourth factor is economy performance, primarily, the capacity of budget, which must be considered, when developing the Armed Forces. At the moment, the national defence expenditures have reached 6.3 per cent of GDP, 32.5 per cent of the federal budget. This places stringent demands on the efficiency of our work. The President of the Russian Federation paid particular attention to that issue.
The first direction is victory in the special military operation. That including achieving goals specified by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief in the address to Russian citizens shortly before the special military operation and in the speech to senior staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in June.
This year, Russian troops liberated almost 4,500 square kilometres of territory, occupied by the enemy. Neo-nazis control less than one per cent of the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic and 25-30 per cent of Zaporozhye and Kherson regions and the Donetsk People's Republic.
The enemy's combat potential has been undermined. This year alone, the AFU losses exceeded more than 560,000 troops wounded and killed. As President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin noted, the AFU losses amounted to up to a million troops in the course of the special military operation. The AFU losses amounted to more than 40,000 troops in Kursk region.
This year, more than 58,000 units of the enemy's weaponry and military hardware, including 18,000 foreign-made samples were destroyed.
Russian precision weaponry inflicted significant damage on Ukrainian defence industry enterprises and power facilities ensuring its work. The enemy largely lost the capability to produce the necessary weaponry, military hardware, and ammunition.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation firmly hold the initiative along the line of contact.
At the moment, average daily advance of Russian troops has significantly increased and now amounts to up to 30 square kilometres.
The enemy is forced to go over to the defensive and deploy remaining reserves. The strength of the enemy frontline units do not exceed 45-50 per cent.
This success is a great credit to our soldiers and officers of our Joint Group of Forces, commanders of groups of forces, and command and control organisations.
The most significant breakthrough in unit tactics became the mass use of unmanned aerial vehicles made for various purposes.
These include inflicting fire damage on the enemy, performing reconnaissance, and engaging in electronic warfare. At the moment, Russian troops daily deploy more than 3,500 UAVs and this figure constantly increases.
The Rubicon Centre of Advanced Unmanned Technologies of the Russian Defence Ministry was specifically established to train UAV teams, develop methods of combat employment of drones, and introduce new weaponry.
It is necessary to focus on improving the specifications of unmanned aerial vehicles in terms of increasing their range, autonomy, and interference protection.
Today, a huge number of innovative technical developments with high results are being implemented directly in the troops.
For example, ground robotic systems have proved effective in combat operations, namely, they inflict fire damage, perform reconnaissance, lay mines, deliver ammunition and evacuate the wounded.
Troop engineers also continue to improve characteristics of UAVs, communication and EW means. These efforts allow to save thousands of lives of our servicemen.
In that regard, a complete inventory of such troop developments should be made, they must be systematically testes on training grounds, and mass production of the best samples must be organised.
To this end, the systematic work to satisfy the needs of the Armed Forces continues with the help of the regions. This year alone, over 427,000 servicemen have already been enlisted. On average, more than 1,200 people daily sign contracts to serve in the Armed Forces. It is important not to lose the momentum of this process.
I would like to point out that an integral part of the recruitment for the military is the combat training of new servicemen.
It is necessary to introduce into it new ways and methods that have shown high efficiency in the course of the special operation, as well as to coordinate combat training of units with the introduction of new means of warfare.
The supply of new and modernised tanks has increased seven-fold this year in comparison to 2022, supply of infantry fighting vehicles and armoured personnel carriers has increased three-fold, supply of UAVs has increased 23-fold, supply of UAVs has increased 22-fold.
With such output, there are practically no disruptions in deliveries of particularly demanded types of ammunition, weapons and equipment. Out of 260 items, only four items are delivered with delays. Nevertheless, a number of additional measures need to be taken to ensure the sustainability of the supply of arms, military hardware, and ammunition in 2025 and 2026.
It is required to conclude contracts within the current month for the delivery in 2026 of the entire range of weaponry, which has a production cycle of 12 to 16 months, and to conclude contracts no later than the beginning of the second quarter of the next year for the other products.
According to the request of the President, we have to transfer from limit prices to a transparent price formula, ensure conclusion of long-term contracts for the supply of serial products at fixed prices, and complete the introduction of a new flexible mechanism for the procurement of certain types of armaments and equipment within the state defence order.
This will reduce the procurement period to one or two weeks instead of several months.
I am compelled to note that the adoption of by-laws on this Presidential Decree has been delayed.
The first priority is to protect arsenals and POL depots within the range of the enemy's weapons of mass destruction. Priority action has already been taken as soon as possible.
Open storage sites were disbanded, camouflaging was carried out, mobile firing groups were created, and a system of cooperation with air defence units was established.
In the future, approaches to the organisation of storage bases and logistics need to be reconsidered in view of the enemy's actions.
Large complex storage bases should be replaced by a distributed, echeloned network of depots. The logistics system and methods of delivery of military cargoes will change accordingly.
This year, additional repair units near the front line have been deployed as quickly as possible.
In addition to repairs, they install additional protection on military hardware. In total, more than three hundred field teams of industry enterprises are involved in the combat zone. The measures taken made it possible to improve the serviceability of weapons and military equipment.
However, there is still work to be done here as well. A minimum of 98 per cent serviceability should be maintained.
In the beginning of the special military operation, there were many complaints about the quality and quantity of clothing allowances. Although the most acute problems in this area have been resolved, a number of issues still require attention.
The supply of clothing items has doubled since 2022. The Joint Group of Forces received more than one million four hundred thousand sets of field uniforms and more than half a million sets of body protectors. However, questions remain about the quality of the equipment supplied.
In this regard, new items of field uniforms have been developed, which have previously been highly appreciated by the troops. They are characterised by increased durability, functionality and combination with body protectors. It is necessary to complete testing these samples and start deliveries next year.
This year alone, 86 Storm Shadow and Scalp cruise missiles, 215 ATACMS ballistic missiles, 1,629 HIMARS projectiles, and over 27 thousand fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted.
It is worth noting the positive experience of creating the air defence system around Moscow. It should be taken into account when building similar systems in other Russian regions.
However, there are many unresolved issues in this area. We will discuss them substantively in the private part of the Board Session.
The highest priority is to modernise the Armed Forces in the medium term, taking into account foreign threats and technological developments.
It's well known, that the United States has declared Russia a source of 'urgent and imminent threat'. All components of the nuclear triad will be modernised by 2030. The USA continue to update the nomenclature of nuclear warheads and develop nuclear warheads and bombs.
The combat capabilities of elements of the U.S. global anti-missile defence system are being developed. In November 2023, one U.S. missile defence base was opened 165 km away from Russia, in Redzikovo (Poland). It allows the Tomahawk cruise missiles to be used with minor adjustments to its infrastructure.
The NATO member states move to a new combat readiness system this year. It is planned to deploy 100,000 troops near the western borders of Russia within ten days, 300,000 troops by the end of thirty days, and 800,000 troops by the end of six months.
Moreover, in July 2024, Washington and Berlin officially announced the deployment of U.S. medium-range missiles (up to 2,400 kilometres) on the territory of German in 2026. And then there will be the deployment of hypersonic missiles with up to eight minutes flight time to Moscow.
This involves building the programme on the basis of the Armed Forces' main functions, taking into account the nature of future military conflicts.
As you, President Putin, pointed out in your statement, first and foremost it is the improvement of all three components of the nuclear deterrent force.
Next year, we will continue rearming the Strategic Missile Forces with the Yars missile systems. We will adopt four Tu-160M strategic missile carriers as a part of the aviation strategic forces, and hand over the nuclear submarine cruiser Knyaz Pozharsky to the Navy.
We will continue to improve weaponry for the conduct of so-called 'non-contact' warfare, develop technologies for the creation of air-based, ground-based and sea-based robotic systems and interference-proof systems of their control on the basis of artificial intelligence and machine-to-machine interaction technologies.
We need to organise a single information space. This requires the development of high-speed and secure communication channels, space communication channels first and foremost, as well as introduction of common standards and protocols for data transmission of automated control systems.
In the next five years, it is necessary to introduce systems with new qualitative characteristics in terms of accuracy, interference protection, and range. Next year, we need to increase the production of the Oreshnik medium-range missile system and continue the development of other promising samples.
In view of the above, by the end of December this year, we plan to decide on the list and output of the nomenclature of the State Arms Programme and report the parameters of the future State Arms Programme to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief at the beginning of the next year.
First of all, it is necessary to revise the lists of research and development work for each weapon system, taking into account the development of technology.
Next year, we need to create a network of military experimental centres in the main scientific and technological areas. Such centres will test and validate designs in a combat environment, working closely with the industry as well as provide training for specialists and introduce new products to the troops.
It is necessary to establish a qualitatively new system of interaction with the civil scientific community and production laboratories and launch the Military Technology Initiative similar to the National Technology Initiative.
The establishment of the Moscow and Leningrad Military Districts in a response to the expansion of the NATO in the direction of our borders needs to be completed. In this regard, it is necessary to clarify the total strength of the Armed Forces. We will improve the working and organisational structures of formations and military units as advanced weapons systems are put into service.
In accordance with the requests of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, it is proposed to establish a new service branch, the 'Unmanned Systems Troops'. If you decide, we will complete their establishment in the third quarter of the next year.
Given the increased role of space systems in combat operations, it is necessary to organise scientific and technical centres to develop means of navigation and counter threats in space.
Today, the Russian Defence Ministry has 39 military training institutions, including the Saratov Higher Artillery Command School established this year. More than 12,000 officers graduate every year.
It is essential that the Armed Forces' manpower requirements are fully met in the light of foreseeable military conflicts.
The first task is to update the list and content of military specialities and educational programmes. Promising weapon systems and a fundamentally new nature of future hostilities require new military specialists in the Armed Forces. Their training must be based on a scientifically grounded forecast of the Armed Forces' need for such specialists. The requirements for them should be the basis for changes in educational programmes as well.
Second task is to modernise the system of military universities, including their maintenance base. First and foremost, it is necessary to reequip the universities with modern and advanced weaponry and military hardware. First of all, we talk about simulators. It is imperative that the instructional staff be manned by officers who have proven themselves during the special military operation.
We will create new educational institutions with promising specialities, and develop a system of partnership between military training institutions and leading civilian, scientific, and industrial educational institutions.
We need to create a system that will help each officer to independently assess the level of expertise achieved, to increase the motivation to acquire new knowledge, improve skills and abilities. The most important thing is to ensure that relevant educational tools are available. These include special educational online courses and programmes.
The fourth task is to crucially increase the prestige of military service. It is important that the officer profession becomes one of the most prestigious in the society.
We will strengthen the authority and social standing of the officers corps, revive the best traditions of the Russian and Soviet armies - the officer's code of honour, officers' meetings.
It should be noted that military medicine has honourably passed the test of the special military operation.
The numbers prove it. About 96 per cent of servicemen can return to service after leaving hospitals, and the hospital mortality rate is now less than half a percent and continues to decrease.
The rate of survivors has increased significantly – thanks to the large-scale use of air medical evacuations, military ambulance trains, as well as the development of comprehensive medical rehabilitation.
I want to thank all the medical personnel, who save Russian troops in the front line, and district, central military-medical and civilian institutions.
A special word of thanks to the Ministry of Health and the Federal Medical-Biological Agency for creating additional bed capacity and providing assistance in the treatment of wounded servicemen.
Next year, it is necessary to focus on training of military personnel in first aid skills as a part of combat training. More than 7,000 instructors have been trained by specialists of the Tactical Medicine Centre of the Ministry of Defence for this purpose.
It is required to complete the transition to modern first aid equipment improved on the basis of the experience of the special military operation for military personnel. It's about the 8th generation medical kits.
We must equip medical units with modern means of protection to raise the level of evacuation to up to 100 per cent, currently this figure is at 40 per cent, and expand successful experience of using small vehicles, including robotic systems, to evacuate the wounded.
Then, it's necessary to increase the number of medium- and junior medical personnel working in the military medical units from 95 per cent to at least 98 per cent next year.
To that end, it is planned to provide additional material support for the medical specialists of these units.
Later, we need to modernise the main military medical institutions and increase the volume of high-tech care.
Nineteen new hospitals equipped with the most modern equipment are to be established. Major repairs of ten military medical organisations with a total capacity of more than 3,000 beds need to be finished.
This is especially true for the severely wounded. For this purpose, the construction of seven new rehabilitation centres is under consideration, including through the use of extrabudgetary sources. This will allow for additional medical rehabilitation for over 11,000 servicemen.
Also, from next year, the system of medical care for participants of the special military operation, who have suffered severe wounds that resulted in amputation, will change.
There will be a transition to new modern standards that will enable the provision of a full cycle of prosthetics and rehabilitation services. At the same time, servicemen will be able to receive them near their places of residence and service. The new system should halve the waiting time for prosthetics to an average of three months.
Another important task is the socialisation and employment of severely injured servicemen after treatment and prosthetics. It is necessary to use their extensive service and combat experience to work in military administration bodies, military commissariats and universities.
The organisational structure of military medical expertise institutions has already been extended. Five new military medical expertise institutions have been formed this year in Lugansk, Donetsk, Volgograd, Voronezh, and Nizhny Novgorod.
Monitoring of commissions should be tightened. We must ensure adherence to timelines and quality of decisions. This is particularly important in light of the differentiation of payments for injuries.
It is a question of strictly and as conveniently as possible receiving cash payments, social benefits, and housing. A number of important steps have already been taken.
Through digitisation, the issuance of certificates of a participant in the special military operation has been radically simplified. Confirmation time has been reduced from two months to five days. First of all, we are talking about obtaining a certificate through the Public Services Portal of the Russian Federation. In less than two months, about three hundred and fifty thousand people have applied, and more than two hundred and ten thousand confirmations have already been issued automatically.
We thank the Ministry of Digital Development, the Ministry of Economic Development and the Federal Taxation Service for helping to introduce this service to citizens in an extremely short time.
– Simplify and speed up the confirmation of entitlement to and receipt of benefits by digitising services.
– Ensure fair, targeted, and prompt payment of cash rewards for active combat operations.
These payments have been increased one and a half times since September this year. But at the same time there are a lot of complaints about their completeness and timeliness. These deficiencies need to be addressed as soon as possible.
– Establish a comprehensive system to search for missing persons and support their families.
At the moment, this work has been going on for too long and with too little impact.
The search for our servicemen must be approached comprehensively. It is necessary to streamline all processes, make changes to the regulatory framework and join forces with volunteers by ensuring they are equipped and organised in the special military operation zone.
Additional support should be provided to the families of missing servicemen. This is a request of the President of the Russian Federation. A mechanism for payments to the children of missing persons has been developed and a draft normative legal act has been sent to the Government. Please accelerate its adoption.
As we know, there are two main ways of resolving the housing issue for servicemen. These are the provision of a flat or housing subsidy and housing under the savings and mortgage system.
This year, more than eighty billion roubles have been allocated to provide housing subsidies to servicemen. As a result, about 4,000 servicemen received subsidies for housing.
In this regard, a key objective in this area is to increase the availability of permanent housing and to ensure a sustainable reduction in the housing subsidy waiting list. We need to address the following issues.
– Allocate additional funding of one hundred and forty-nine billion roubles next year for housing subsidy. This will make it possible to significantly increase the rate of housing provision up to nine thousand servicemen per year. The rights of servicemen in terms of priority must be strictly respected.
– Conduct an inventory of the housing fund. Establish an orderly housing inventory and a system for monitoring and controlling housing utilisation.
– Take measures to put into operation unfinished construction of the housing stock. This is 32 objects and about five thousand flats with readiness above eighty per cent. And there are 194 objects in total.
– In the area of military mortgages, it is necessary to ensure the expansion of the possibility of acquiring housing, taking into account compensation for the increase in the cost of housing. Over the next three years, the number of participants in the funded mortgage system will more than double to eight hundred thousand servicemen. The availability of financial resources and the timeliness of payments should be monitored.
And special attention should be paid to the possibility of buying a flat of the required area.
A serviceman who has been in the system for 17 years will, on average, have more than sixty-five square metres available for purchase next year, exceeding the original target.
It is necessary to compensate for the increase in the price of square metres in time to ensure the achieved level of affordability.
This is a key area in terms of identifying and responding to systemic problems in a timely manner. First of all, it applies to protection of the rights of servicemen.
This year, the number of appeals received by the Russian Defence Ministry more than doubled compared to 2022 and exceeded seven hundred thousand.
The appeal is only withdrawn from the control after the applicant himself confirms that the problem has been solved or if it is impossible to do so in principle. In order to fully implement this approach, the following challenges will need to be addressed.
The first is change the way appeals are handled. We need to introduce a digital system to track the movement of each request from submission to execution, adopt regulations for the work of the military administration bodies in dealing with appeals at all stages, and provide evaluation of the quality of problem solving from the applicant in the system.
The second is to establish an incentive system for officials to ensure that deadlines are met and issues are dealt with on their merits.
The third is to develop a system for monitoring and analysing issues raised in appeals in order to identify and address systemic problems.
The fourth is to get to the Military and Social Centre fully operational.
It should be stated that the attempts of the collective West to isolate Russia in terms of military cooperation have failed.
This year it has covered more than a hundred countries. Cooperation with allies and strategic partners from the CIS, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America has been expanded. This included twenty-one international exercises and joint patrols of airspace.
Cooperation in the sphere of military education is developing. About nine thousand students and cadets from more than fifty countries undergo training in Russia every year.
We share Russian experience in combat operations with our key partners. Over one thousand two hundred foreign servicemen have taken part in training and consultations.
At the same time, there is a clear need to change approaches to setting priorities. International activities should be aimed at achieving the main goal of ensuring the security of Russia and its allies in the new multipolar world. This work should be focused on achieving strategic results in the sphere of military and military-technical cooperation.
A number of tasks need to be solved.
1. To ensure the creation of effective mechanisms for collective response to new security threats. To this end, use the potential of the CSTO, the CIS and the Union State.
2. To put bilateral forms of military cooperation on a long-term and sustainable basis.
This means long-term planning and implementation of joint exercises and patrols, solving air defence tasks, exchanging intelligence data and other practical formats.
3. To ensure the expansion of Russia's position on the world arms markets, including through industrial cooperation with our partners.
The task is not only to increase exports of military products, which is not always possible given the special military operation. There is a need for a transition to sustainable cooperation between defence enterprises, including within the framework of licensed production. With guarantees of purchases of military products manufactured by the Russian Armed Forces and its partners. These are the relations that are being developed within the framework of the Union State with the Republic of Belarus.
The work has already begun this year. The Russian Defence Minister regularly holds meetings with military reporters. Based on the results of the meetings, specific instructions are given to the command and control organisations to decide on the substance of the issues. In between meetings, information exchange with war correspondents was organised to address pressing and urgent issues.
This approach led to significant results. We will continue this work.
In the current year, an inventory of more than 5,700 objects of unfinished construction has been performed. The amount of funding needed to finish the construction works is about 690 billion roubles, which is three times the annual amount of capital construction. Therefore, the key purpose of the construction complex is to ensure the rhythmic commissioning of priority facilities and eliminate the currently accumulated long-delayed construction by 2030.
What priorities need to be addressed?
The first is to complete the construction of facilities already under construction. Among the priorities are facilities for setting up military unit accommodation, facilities for accommodation of weaponry and military hardware, housing for military personnel, hospitals and rehabilitation centres.
The second is to make the transition to a new model of military-building complexes. This involves a clear division of powers and responsibilities between the levels of capital construction management and a partial decentralisation of the management of capital construction with the transfer of relevant powers and resources to military districts. The establishment of relevant military command bodies as well as military-building units is planned.
The third is to conduct a financial rehabilitation of the construction and project support organisations and to increase their production base.
In terms of the property complex, currently, it includes more than half a million real estate objects and land plots. Also under the jurisdiction of the Russian Defence Ministry there are more than eight hundred organisations, including 88 companies of the commercial sector.
The aim of the work here is to restore order and subordinate the activities of the property complex to the tasks of the Armed Forces.
What is planned to be done.
The first to conduct an inventory and create a system of accounting for real estate, create a single integrated register and digital platform of real estate, including digital passports of each object. This work is planned to be completed as early as next year and to complete the registration of all immovable property in 2026.
The second is to develop and implement a new system of corporate governance of subordinate organisations, including clear regulation of all procedures, a system of motivation of managers aimed at specific results, and of a single treasury covering all subordinate organisations.
This refers to the introduction of so-called 'lean management' approaches, which allows to fundamentally reduce the time and stages of administrative processes. The first experience of pilot projects in some of the Ministry's structural units shows that the reserves are enormous. The number of unnecessary procedures can be reduced by five to ten times. And the terms can be reduced by five or more times.
Implementation of such approaches is carried out with the participation of the Rosatom State Corporation, which has achieved generally known successes in this area.
Next year, a permanent mechanism of 'lean management' is to be established. We must resolve four tasks, to include:
– to develop an organisational mechanism for implementing efficiency processes, including the special organisational unit of the Ministry - the Department for the Improvement of Efficient Activity;
– to develop a regulatory and methodological framework based on the experience of pilot projects;
– to train military and civilian personnel in optimising internal processes;
– to create an appropriate motivation system.
At the moment, about 100 projects have been selected in 15 spheres of the activity of the Russian Defence Ministry. Their implementation is to begin as soon as possible.
At the moment, the ministry has about a hundred information systems that are poorly integrated with each other. Some of them are outdated and irrelevant.
The goal is to create an integrated information system that meets the most up-to-date technical requirements and ensures decision-making with documents.
This year, together with the Ministry of Finance, Rostelecom and Rosatom, we conducted an audit existing information systems, formed a project management mechanism, and are finalising the target image of the future system.
Next year it is planned to develop and implement digital solutions for 37 important basic processes. What are the next tasks here?
– Formulate the image of the information system, functional and technical requirements.
– Develop a target architecture based on domestic hardware and software solutions.
– Ensure implementation of information systems for basic processes.
In general, it is planned to complete the commissioning of the information system by the end of 2027.
Esteemed President Putin!
I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for your constant attention to the issues of the construction and development of the Armed Forces and social security for servicemen and their families.
I would also like to thank the President's Administration, the Federal Assembly and the Government for their consolidated support for our work.
I want to express my gratitude for the joint work to our colleagues in the power block.
And, of course, I would like to sincerely thank Sergei Shoigu for creating a powerful foundation for the development of the Armed Forces.
Supreme Commander-in-Chief!
All the tasks you assigned will be accomplished. We will ensure the progressive development of the Army and the Navy and increase their combat capabilities.
The priorities for the Armed Forces will be discussed in the closed session of the Board.
