Russia Steps Up Production Of Some Military Hardware By More Than Tenfold

President Vladimir Putin has ordered a step up in production to ensure that Moscow meets the goals of its special military operation in Ukraine, despite the West supplying Kyiv with billions of dollars in weapons and inflicting unprecedented Western sanctions on the Russian economy.

Bekhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the armament complex at Rostec, the Russian state corporation that handles a large portion of the weapons industry, claimed manufacturing volumes for various types of weapons had jumped by two to tenfold.

“And for some types of hardware, output had been boosted by tens of times”, Ozdoev disclosed. “We are going forward at cruising speed, smoke from all the pipes”, Ozdoev explained.

According to Ozdoev, the production of tanks, armored vehicles, rocket launchers, artillery, the Iskander short-range ballistic missile, the Pantsir medium-range surface-to-air missile system, and the hypersonic Kinzhal missile has increased significantly.

He did not specify the overall number of firearms manufactured.

The Western-backed Rostec is led by Sergei Chemezov, a close Putin ally. It manages over 800 Russian civilian and defence firms in Russia and is by far the country’s largest weaponry producer.

Rostec is described by the U.S. Treasury calls the cornerstone of Russia’s defence, industrial, technology, and manufacturing sectors.
