“And it went on”: Russia received a large military budget for the first time since the USSR - Kots
For the first time since the Soviet Union, Russia has seriously increased production for the needs of the army and increased the military budget. This makes it possible to produce both standard weapons and introduce new items, such as remote mining and demining using drones.
Military correspondent Alexander Kots stated this on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We now have no other choice but to become stronger, increasing the army, increasing the military budget, and next year it is 70% more than this year. This is the first time since the Soviet Union that 6% of our GDP will go to defense spending...
Our capabilities are increasing both at the industrial level and at the level of folk inventions. Today they sent it from the Northern Military District zone, I saw this for the first time, we can now carry out aerial mining. Today, from copters we can drop not only grenades or VOG-17, but we can also drop anti-personnel mines, ten at a time, we can remotely carry out mine clearance, passages in minefields using standard means, and so non-standard means have appeared, it’s just that the Kulibins invent them.
Well, we still have an advantage both in missile weapons and in aviation again,” Kots concluded.
