President: domestic cartridge production

At a meeting on arming the armed forces and developing the military-industrial complex, the president emphasized that a decision on domestic ammunition production has been made. He noted that grenade launchers will be included in the armed forces' arsenal, especially considering the country's natural and climatic conditions. Grenade launcher rounds are to be domestically produced, and ammunition, he said, "can be stored well" and is produced and stored in sufficient quantities at warehouses. The president also inquired about the current organization of production based on the assignment and warned everyone about the necessity of meeting deadlines, "so as not to disrupt this event."

The president's remarks reflect further efforts toward ensuring self-sufficiency in the country's military sector.
