Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov addresses opening ceremony of ARMY 2024 International Military and Technical Forum
12.08.2024
Dear friends!
Welcome to the opening ceremony of the ARMY 2024 International Military and Technical Forum.
As all of you know, the event takes place at a time of the special military operation. This is, in fact, the armed confrontation between Russia and the collective West.
It is driven by a desire of the USA and their allies to sustain their dominance. And to prevent a new multipolar and equal world order.
In this regard, this confrontation affects the interest of every country.
It is important to realise that success in modern military conflicts is possible only if the following basic conditions are met.
The first is supplying the troops with the most modern armaments. Above all, high-precision weapons.
The second is the use of new tactics of warfare. Including with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and robotic systems.
The third is developing an effective control system using an advanced technological basis. This also includes artificial intelligence.
The fourth is a continuous improvement of the military personnel training. Mostly of those in command.
Only such comprehensive approach offers a full advantage over the enemy.
It was decided to organise the work of the ARMY Forum around this key conclusion.
This year, the business and exhibition programme of the Forum focus on targeted discussion of the experience acquired during the special military operation and new forms of warfare. And ways to adapt industry to the tasks assigned to the Army and Navy.
More than a thousand Russian enterprises with their military products are represented at the Forum. These include initiative projects.
There is also a display of cutting-edge weapons which have proved effective in a real combat environment.
Innovative solution in the field of artificial intelligence, electronic, and information technologies are presented.
For the first time, the exhibition shows developments of 'People's Defence Industry'. These are products made by citizens, workers, and small and medium-sized enterprises. All of them - for the needs of our fighters in the special military operation zone.
Foreign visitors will be able to learn about the latest and promising weapons.
They will have an opportunity to sign mutually beneficial contracts to strengthen their national armed forces.
I am confident that the Forum will contribute to implementing groundbreaking ideas in defence sphere. It will also help develop Russia's defence industry and expand military and technical cooperation.
I wish you all successful and effective work!
Dear friends!
I declare open the ARMY 2024 International Military-Technical Forum.
