Lukashenko urges arms makers to keep advancing

President Lukashenko praised the work of Belarusian arms manufacturers but stressed that they must not stop. "You have flaws, you know them. Report to me and Roman by the end of the year. We must move forward, we must not fear that we can't do something. We can do everything." Lukashenko noted that specialists have already learned to work with modern equipment, calling it a significant achievement. Money for such projects should not be spared, especially if the products will pay for themselves through exports. The next key task is to implement their own ideas: "They can do more — I mean, roughly, make some kind of grenade launcher or something else. We will allocate money, let them do it. But don't postpone. We need to start doing this now."
