Russian Armed Forces Must be Renewed, Prime Minister Says

Large-scale plans on armed forces renovation must be materialized, declared Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin at the meeting with his deputies and representatives of defense industry.

“We have thoroughly analyzed the recent problems of defense order placing. That is why we decided to place defense order not only for one year but for a three-year period. Manufacturers could plan and organize rhythmic production then. All our large-scale plans on armed forces renovation must be materialized. This is the top-priority nationwide goal”, the premier said.

He wished Sevmash shipbuilders and employees of Russian defense industry success in their hard work.
