Putin: Russia adopted ten-year armament program
Russia has adopted a new state armament program which will extend from 2018 to 2027, said Putin during a meeting of United Engine-Building Corporation and Ufa Engine-Building Production Association, Interfax reports.
According to him, the military-industrial sector will work consistently and steadily.
On January 24, the Russian President said that after 2020, when the peak of the state defense order will be over, the defense companies will have to maximize their production of civilian products as much as possible.
In late 2017, Putin said that special emphasis in the state program would be placed on equipping troops with high-precision air, land, and sea weapons as well as armed unmanned aircraft.
