As the minister noted, the TMC is ranked among the "first and foremost" companies fulfilling the state defense contract. "We are very hopeful that the gained rates will be maintained not only in 2024, but in some areas they will be increased. Today, our joint work is yielding results, we have an increase in production level, not in percentages, but in times, and all this is in high demand in the special military operation zone," Shoigu emphasized.
"The new products that you and I have seen today and that we intend to launch in the coming months, we will now consider in detail. In addition to solving financial issues related to the state defense contract, we will consider the measures to help and support you. Naturally, there are other issues as well, including the demand for specialists who have been assigned from other enterprises, cities, and regions. Quite young people are carrying out very serious and important tasks," he added.
In March 2023, the minister also examined the fulfillment of the state defense contract at the TMC enterprise in the Moscow region, setting the task of increasing the rate of production this year and to double the production of precision weapons.
