every day, and this process will certainly continue. we will build up this process. i would like to once again thank everyone who is doing their duty in combat duty today. i thank the tankers, paratroopers, artillerymen, motorized riflemen, sappers. signalmen, pilots , special forces and air defense fighters, sailors of military axes , specialists of logistic support units, personnel of the national guard and other formations. but how you fight fight. i know i'm not afraid of these comparisons. these are not grandiloquent words, just like the heroes of the war of 1812 of the first world war or the great patriotic war, special words to military doctors who are brave, often at the risk of their own lives, save our soldiers and the military, and to civilian builders

for creating a strengthening of vital infrastructure in the areas of the operation for assistance the restoration of civilian facilities in the liberated territories together, the hostilities have certainly identified and the issues on which we, as in such cases, speak should work especially. including those that we have discussed more than once, i mean the connection between automated control systems for troops and weapons, tactics of counter-battery combat, the goals of instructions, and so on, this is that combat experience. which we must and will use in the further construction and development of the armed forces today. our task is to implement the entire necessary set of measures for the qualitative renewal and improvement of the enemy forces. what i would like to draw special attention to all the information.

and nato forces means that are actively are used in the course of a special military counteraction operation, we are well aware of all this you have and that's it. this should be carefully analyzed for the construction of our armed forces to increase the combat capabilities of our troops, as well as domestic specialists received by our units during this special operation. the ministry of defense of the general staff, as i said, carefully analyze this experience, systematize it as quickly as possible and include it in the program and training plans personnel training of troops in general equipment, in addition, the experience of a special

operation, as well as the practice gained by our troops in syria for a serious improvement in combat training, including the use in the preparation and conduct of exercises and training at all levels, in turn, officers sergeants who have shown themselves during a special military operation should be promoted to new command positions as a priority to be the first personnel reserve when entering military universities and academies, including the academy general staff. the second focus of the government leadership of the ministry of defense of other departments on the need to work in close contact with each other with each other within the framework of a specially created structure of the cardinal council, including with the heads of regions of the regions and representatives of the defense industrial

complex. between the fact that our designers and engineers will continue the practice of going to the front line, i want to express my gratitude to them for this. they are regular. they make necessary adjustments to work. technology. i hope that this practice will be continued in order to test the tactics of the technical characteristics of weapons and equipment, which i have already mentioned, in real combat conditions . in general, substantive work is needed with the relevant ministries and departments , we see what works brilliantly, what needs to be improved engineers see the technicians see the scientists see, and this whole machine works when i spoke about what we are improving and will continue to improve our weapons and equipment . i meant this one too the process should become the headquarters of interaction between the defense industries of science and the armed forces to solve the most urgent and

promising tasks, including, and above all, the logistics of the troops, meaning both equipment and ammunition, and so on. third, we will continue to maintain combat readiness and improve the combat readiness of the nuclear detachment. this is the main guarantee of maintaining our sovereignty and territorial integrity of strategic parity. in general, the balance of power in the world this year, the level of modern samples of weapons in the national nuclear forces. already exceeded 91%. the re-equipment of the strategic missile forces regiments with a modern missile system with a hypersonic warhead avangard continues. in the near future , intercontinental ballistic missiles will be put on combat duty for the first time, sarmat, we know. there's some movement to the right. this does not change our plans. everything will be implemented in the troops continue to receive

missile systems. we will continue the development of unique in their characteristics, which have no analogues in the world of hypersonic e of the complex of missile systems in early january next year, the frigate admiral of the fleet of the soviet union gorshkov will enter combat service with the latest repeated, unparalleled in the world, sea -based hypersonic missile systems church. we will continue to equip our strategic forces with the latest types of weapons, i repeat all the plans outlined, of course, will be fulfilled further, it is important to increase the combat capabilities of the aerospace forces, including fighters and bombers during their work in the area of ​​operation of modern air defense systems , the actual task is to improve

unmanned aerial vehicles, including strategic and reconnaissance strike, as well as the methods of their use, the experience of a special military operation. he showed that the use of drones has become almost universal and such an arsenal of means should be in the combat squads of platoons of companies. battalions. the target should be detected as quickly as possible, and the information transmitted to strike in real time unmanned aerial vehicles should be integrated with each other into a single intelligence network. each fighter should have secure communication channels with headquarters and commanders, and in the near future, the opportunity to receive information transmitted from drones should be available for this, you need to go to this. you have to be technical. this can be implemented in the very near future, practically not now. i ask you to pay special attention to this when finalizing the entire complex of equipment and

tactical equipment of personnel. we know that there can be no small things on the battlefield, and therefore special attention must be paid. i know that the ministry is working on this, but i would like to emphasize this once again about first-aid kits. nutrition, dry rations, uniforms, shoes, protective helmets, bulletproof vests, everything must be at the most modern and high level. legacy of the army, night vision devices, high-quality sights, new generation sniper rifles, i will not list everything, but uh, i will say the main thing is everything that a fighter needs should be modern convenient and reliable, and supply is based on real needs. if any departmental standards are outdated, they need to be changed. quickly, i want to point out, the minister of defense, the chief of the general staff of all the commanders who represent here, we

have no restrictions on uh, on financing the country, the government gives everything that the army asks for everything. i hope that the answer will be properly formulated and the corresponding results will be achieved, returning to the topic of drones, i will note that we have good experience in developing unique underwater unmanned vehicles and i know that the industry has all the capabilities to create a wide range of air and ground unmanned vehicles with the best and highest e, performance characteristics, including elements of artificial intelligence. in addition, we will generally need to work out the issues of expanding the arsenals of modern strike weapons. fifth, it is necessary to improve the command and control system and communications in order to ensure the stability and efficiency

of command and control under any conditions for more actively use artificial intelligence technologies at all levels of decision-making. as experience shows, including the latest for a month, the most effective weapon systems that operate quickly and almost automatically. further , the partial mobilizations carried out revealed certain problems. it's good. everyone knows that should be promptly dealt with. i know that the necessary measures are being taken, but still, we need to pay attention to this and build this system in a modern way. first of all, it is necessary to modernize the system of military commissariats. e commissariats. this applies to digitalization, databases of interaction with local and regional authorities. updating requires a system of organization of civil and territorial defense interaction with industry. in particular, it is necessary to improve the system of accumulation

and storage of weapons of military equipment and material resources for the deployment of units and formations for mobilization. as you know, 300,000 people are called up to the ranks of the armed forces. some of them are already in the zone combat operations, as the minister of defense chief of staff reports, 150,000 people are being trained at military training grounds, and this is a sufficient reserve for conducting an operation. this is practically a strategic reserve, which is not being used in combat operations today, but people are passing through. there's the necessary training dear colleagues. i want to sincerely thank our citizens who, at the call of their hearts, help the armed forces by sending additional equipment to the advanced vehicles, equipment, warm clothes are sent to the hospital letters and gifts are wounded. even if e, even if the ministry of defense provides everything necessary in some segment. all the same , you need to say a big thank you to people for this and

low worship. i ask the ministry of defense to be attentive to all civilian initiatives, including taking into account criticism and responding to it correctly in a timely manner. it is clear that the reaction of people who see the problems of such a large complex work will certainly always appear. this reaction can also be emotional. well, one must certainly hear those who are not hush up existing problems, but seeks to contribute to their solution sure. the ministry of defense will be constantly in dialogue with the people for unity, as we know, the army and the people have always been our strength, so it is today. let's move on to the report, please, the words of the minister of defense.

the commander's report will begin a specially military operation. today in ukraine, russian military personnel are being countered by the combined forces of the west. usa is training military personnel and providing information. all this western countries are trying not to to notice how elements of nuclear blackmail, such as provocations against the zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the scenario of preparing the so -called dirty nuclear bomb. it is clear that the current situation is beneficial in the first

place, the united states, which seeks to use it to maintain global dominance and weaken other countries, including its allies in europe, of particular concern is the build-up of nato's advanced presence in the area with the russian federation and the republic of belarus, as well as the desire of the west prolong the hostilities as much as possible ukraine in order to weaken our country. after the revelation of mrs. merkel poroshenko and other politicians, the usual goals of the minsk agreements became obvious to everyone that it was not russia that was the source of the conflict in ukraine, the reason for the western-funded state transfer in kiev in 2014, which brought anti-russian forces to power and divided the fraternal peoples. this provoked an armed confrontation in the donbas. we are taking action to save

the population from genocide and terror. russia is always open to constructive peace talks, russian troops continue to destroy military targets and deliver massive precision strikes against the military command and control system of industrial complex defense enterprises. and objects connected with them, including energy, the supply chain of foreign weapons is being destroyed, the military potential of ukraine is being crushed. at the same time, comprehensive measures are being taken to exclude the death of the civilian population. as a result of the armed forces of ukraine suffered significant losses, a significant part of the armament of the equipment available, the beginning of the operation destroyed for execution by the loss of the united states of america nato countries have increased military assistance to the kiev regime at times on the supply of weapons to ukraine 27 countries have already spent 97 billion

dollars. much more than abandoned americans in afghanistan happiness, afghan abandoned afghanistan is in the hands of terrorists and is spreading all over the world. unknown. in whose hands tomorrow will weapons from ukraine it should be noted that nato staff officers, artillerymen and others are in the combat zone specialists. in the interests of the apu, more than 500 us and nato spacecraft are operating, of which over 70 are military, the rest are dual- use. the united states and its allies spend a significant amount of money on providing informational psychological impact on russia and our allies. we have fully understood what it is, the allegedly free western press daily, on command from washington , publishes thousands

of fakes about events in ukraine using the same templates, hundreds of television agencies work for this, tens of thousands print media media resources social networks and instant messengers total silence of the western media about the war crimes of the ukrainian military. at the same time, the glorification of the kiev criminal regime of neo-nazis takes place. terrorist methods are presented as legitimate self-defense or are presented as the actions of russian units, ukrainian nationalists have taken on the role of riddles of the detachments. every day we receive data on executions of afu servicemen who evade combat missions. to stabilize the situation of protecting new territories and carrying out further offensive actions required an increase in the combat numerical

strength of our troops' groupings. for these purposes , a partial mobilization was carried out. it has become a criterion for the maturity of russian society, a serious test for the country and the armed forces. organizational plans have not been active here since the great patriotic war; the evolutionary training system itself was not fully adapted to new economic relations, therefore, first in a partial organization. we've run into problems with posting. in stock all the shortcomings had to be corrected on the move, changes were made in the shortest possible time in the organizational staffing structure of the military command and control bodies of the formation of units , urgent measures were taken to improve all types of support. the measure of partial mobilization was

completed in a timely manner and in full , 300,000 citizens in the reserve were called up for military service. an important role in this was played by the consolidated work of federal and regional government bodies. i will especially note the active civil the position of the russians, without waiting for the bandages, more than 20,000 people entered the troops. as volunteers to maintain the country's economy, more than 830,000 citizens were exempted from conscription, working at defense enterprises of the industrial complex of other socially significant spheres that ensure the life of the state . stabilized military personnel

organized preparations for hostilities from the development of individual skills to combat strength, as part of the units, a huge burden fell on the military-political bodies. this confirmed the correctness adopted in 2018. decision to create them. at the same time, much remains to be done to ensure that they fully ensure the readiness of personnel to perform combat missions. in general, partial mobilization made it possible to increase the combat capabilities of the troops and intensify combat operations. the troops liberated the territory five times larger than that which the luhansk and donetsk people's republics held until 24 february. at the end of may, russian troops completely cleared the nazis of a large industrial center, mariupol, the city was turned into a powerful district or house by the kiev regimes, which became the

industrial zone of the plant. as a result of the successful actions of the units of the armed forces and the russian donetsk people's militia, more than 4,000 militants were destroyed 2,500. the nationalists of azov and the military personnel laid down their arms and surrendered captivity. peaceful life is being established today, the ports in berdyansk and mariupol are fully functioning; we plan to deploy them basing points for ships providing emergency rescue service and ship repair units of the navy. the sea of ​​azov has again become an inland sea in russia, as it has been for 300 years of our country's history? overland communication with crimea has been resumed by rail and road; rail traffic from donbass has been restored for

samples of weapons and military equipment have confirmed exceptional reliability and efficiency. a special military operation provides a unique opportunity to analyze modern methods of conducting. interspecific operations, the forces used and means to be taken into account in the plans for the improvement of the armed forces, the leadership of the country, support by russian citizens, this clearly shows the unity of the army and society. defense of other important tasks at the beginning of the year, together with the csto countries. they checked the operation to stabilize the situation in kazakhstan and allowed a color revolution. in this country, russian groupings of troops remain
