Russia’s defense industry produces arms at huge volumes
“We are supplying aircraft, tanks, infantry vehicles, howitzers, electronic warfare systems, drones and much more in enormous quantities. No country in the world today produces as many shells and aerial bombs,” Chemezov said. While he declined to provide exact figures, he insisted that Russia’s output far exceeds what other nations can produce.
Rostec’s statements echo previous Russian claims: in May 2024, President Vladimir Putin said ammunition production had increased fourteenfold during the special military operation, drone manufacturing had quadrupled, and armored weapons output had risen 3.5 times.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Russia still prefers achieving its objectives “through political and diplomatic means,” but accused Kiev of prolonging the fighting with support from Western backers. Moscow has also criticized the EU and UK for allegedly impeding peace efforts, including early negotiations between Moscow and Kiev in 2022—a claim former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson denies.
