Russia to produce 1,500 tanks in 2023
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] According to Medvedev, Russia will produce 1,500 tanks in 2023.

So to speak, the topic is closed with stupid questions "Why did the USSR produce a lot of tanks."

Taking into account the growth in production volumes and the mass reactivation of old vehicles, we can observe an obvious picture when the front needs thousands of tanks, which gives an answer to the question why the USSR produced thousands of tanks and stored tens of thousands. So that when they are needed - all this has already been.

And thanks to this work of our ancestors, we still use what they have prepared for us. And how many tantrums of domestic liberals were "ko-ko-ko, stupid scoops for some reason produced a lot of tanks."

PS. The country needs at least 1 more tank plant and 2-3 plants for the production of wheeled and tracked armored vehicles.

Medvedev read Stalin's telegram of 1941 to the heads of defense industry enterprises

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, during a meeting with the heads of enterprises of the Defense Industrial Complex (DIC), cited Joseph Stalin as an example and read out his telegram, written in 1941 to the directors of Soviet factories. The video was posted on March 23 on Medvedev 's Telegram channel .

Stalin during the Great Patriotic War instructed to fulfill the obligations for the supply of hulls for tanks on time. He noted that this is a duty to the Motherland.

"If in a few days you find yourself violating your duty to the Motherland, I will begin to smash you as criminals who neglect the honor and interests of their Motherland," the telegram says.

Medvedev, after reading the document, noted that in modern realities, the heads of defense industry enterprises must fulfill their obligations not by the end of the year, but every decade. Medvedev expressed the hope that he was heard and remembered Stalin's order.

As REGNUM reported, on March 15, Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Igor Krasnov said that after the start of the SVO, the prosecutor's office introduced a special procedure for supervision at defense industry enterprises . This concerns assistance in fulfilling the state order and establishing a system of cooperation and import substitution. Krasnov stressed that his subordinates act in the "role of coordinators" .
