The primary focus in the military-industrial complex in 2023 was directed towards the development of infrastructure for nuclear deterrence forces and means, as well as the enhancement of the naval base system.
That was stated by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, addressing a meeting of senior military officers to evaluate the results of military production.
All planned activities in this direction for 2023 were fully implemented, the minister reported.
"In 2023, within tight deadlines and maintaining high-quality work, facilities for special operations and military purposes were delivered. The main efforts were concentrated on creating infrastructure for the deployment of nuclear deterrence forces, improving the aerodrome network, naval base systems, and developing new regions of the country. In total, 2,772 buildings and structures were constructed," Shoigu said.
Shoigu also emphasized that Russian forces in the special operation zone promptly receive all necessary technology and means of destruction.
"Technology and weapons are delivered promptly to the area of special military operations, enhancing the combat capabilities of the combined troop groupings," declared the Russian minister.
He noted that the established system of weapons and equipment repair and maintenance on-site has significantly reduced the time for their maintenance, increasing readiness for deployment.
"At the current moment, the main task remains ensuring that every unit and every soldier has everything necessary for the successful execution of combat missions," Shoigu pointed out.
