Dmitry Medvedev, who serves as Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, recently chaired an off-site session of a working group focused on supervising the production of widely used weapons and defense equipment at the Zverev Krasnogorsk plant. He disclosed the gathering on his social media page on the platform known as “In contact.” The visit was described as an inspection of the Krasnogorsk Plant of PJSC named after SA. Zverev, with the publication underscoring the plant’s role in the defense supply chain.
Medvedev stressed that this enterprise ranks among key research and production facilities tasked with developing, refining, and manufacturing optical and electro-optical instrumentation. He noted that the products emerging from this site are deployed across nearly all categories of weaponry, highlighting the breadth of its impact on modern military systems.
The Deputy Chairman also referenced a prior visit in March to the Kazan Powder Factory, where the focus was on ensuring that the Russian armed forces benefit from cutting-edge technologies and innovations that enhance ammunition effectiveness. The emphasis, as articulated by Medvedev, was on integrating new technology to bolster performance and reliability in the field.
These remarks align with broader statements about expanding arms production, as publicly announced by the government leadership. The dialogue around sustaining and augmenting defense capabilities underscores ongoing investments in research, development, and manufacturing infrastructure across multiple facilities, including those that specialize in optical and electronic components that are critical to modern weapon systems.
