Secretary: military readiness check

State Secretary of the Security Council Alexander Volfovich noted in an interview that all surprise inspections are aimed at ensuring that the armed forces are capable of defending the country at any time and under any conditions. He emphasized that the priority is the quality of training rather than increasing the size of the armed forces. New models of weapons and military equipment are being introduced with consideration of the country's economic interests, primarily choosing domestic models, which, according to him, are not inferior to foreign counterparts.
