Russian Defence Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu inspects the fulfilment of state defence orders at the Tactical Missiles Corporation in Moscow region.
The Russian Defence Minister inspected the production facilities and assembly process of high-precision ammunition.
Director General of Tactical Missiles Corporation Boris Obnosov reported to General of the Army Sergei Shoigu that the enterprise has fully completed the state defence order for 2023, and since the beginning of the special military operation, the output of high-precision ammunition has been increased five times for some of the most demanded nomenclatures of products. Boris Obnosov stressed that this became possible due to the expansion and modernisation of production, an increase in the number of personnel, an increase in labour productivity and the transition to a 24/7 work schedule.
The head of one of the subdivisions of the enterprise Dmitry Kovalev told the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation that due to an increase in labour productivity by 40% and the transition to a 12-hour work shift, the production output at the site headed by him was increased by three times. 'Everything needed is available. All the necessary preparations have been made. Therefore, there are no doubts,' Dmitry Kovalev reported.
'It's the times, we have to work that way. Thank you,' Sergei Shoigu answered.
The Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation was presented with the latest samples of high-precision ammunition launched into mass production in 2023, as well as promising ammunition.
After the inspection, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu held a working meeting with the participation of the enterprise's management and relevant military authorities.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu noted that 'guided planning and correction modules for equipping free-falling 250, 500 and 1,500 kg aerial bombs have successfully proven themselves during the special military operation.'
'The system of unified high-precision jamming-resistant ammunition is in the final stage of testing. In addition, the corporation solved the problems of improving the accuracy and jamming resistance of ammunition, organised the mass production of guided planning and correction modules, guided modular glide bombs and control units for missiles,' General of the Army Sergei Shoigu said.
The Head of the Russian military department set the task not only to increase production, but also to modernise the high-precision ammunition, that is, to transfer a separate line of ammunition from the category of ordinary ammunition, which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have in sufficient quantity to the category of high-precision ammunition, Shoigu stressed. 'There is a successful experience and there are good results. This work needs to be developed. Nowadays, the main combat work is carried out not on squares, but on specific targets,' the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation stressed.
