Russian authorities are implementing steps to raise the output of the most widely used arms and equipment for the nation’s armed forces. This development is reported by RIA Novosti with attribution to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who outlined strategic measures aimed at boosting production capacity across key defense sectors.
During remarks, the head of the government stated that actions are in motion to enlarge the production of the weapons that are in greatest demand, emphasizing that these efforts are designed to ensure the armed forces have reliable access to essential systems. The plan centers on mobilizing and coordinating the capabilities of defense industry facilities to support a sustained and scalable manufacturing tempo.
On Friday, March 31, Mishustin assessed the current production landscape for popular weapon types, highlighting a coordinated approach to scale up output. The assessment underscored a determined push to align manufacturing with the army’s needs, including schedules, inventories, and the readiness of industrial assets to meet heightened demand.
According to the prime minister, every available option is being utilized to provide the Russian military with the resources required for ongoing operations. This includes integrating the production capabilities of defense industry enterprises across the country, as well as optimizing supply chains, workforce deployment, and facility utilization to maintain a steady flow of critical equipment.

Alongside immediate production enhancements, the authorities are accelerating the implementation of investment projects aimed at developing and modernizing manufacturing processes. The plan emphasizes not only current output but also long-term capability to sustain and evolve production lines, paired with strengthened cooperation between sectors to unlock additional capacity.
Dmitry Medvedev, former Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, highlighted the strategic value of the upgraded weapon systems and industrial assets, noting that Russia is capable of delivering highly valuable types of weapons and means of destruction when required. This assessment echoes the broader intent to improve overall defense readiness while maintaining responsible, measured development in coordination with national security objectives.
