Putin called on Rostec to use the experience of countering Western weapons

President Vladimir Putin believes that Rostec needs to increase the production of the products necessary for the army. He stated this at an event on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the state corporation. The head of state also called for Rostec to use the experience of the Russian military in countering Western-made weapons in a military operation.

“The experience that we have received and are receiving in the course of conducting a special operation and counteracting modern Western models of military equipment is a very good experience that needs to be used to improve the quality and reliability, combat characteristics of some types of our weapons, domestic military products,” said Mr Putin. Part of his speech was published on the Kremlin’s Telegram channel.

According to the president, Rostec enterprises should work closely with specialists from the Ministry of Defense. He also called for the encouragement of internal internal competition and “to give way and put into series the best examples of military equipment, based on those that are already operating, working, fighting and confirming their characteristics.”

Since the beginning of the military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, there have been many reports that new weapons are being used in the hostilities. For example, in May at that time, Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov toldthat a new generation of combat laser systems are being used in Ukraine, in early November, RIA Novosti claimedthat Russian snipers will test a new rifle chambered for NATO in a military operation.

Russia accuses NATO of waging a proxy war by supplying weapons to Ukraine. Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya declaredthat missile strikes on Ukraine are a response to “pumping Western weapons.”
