A Russian victory in Ukraine is “inevitable,” President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday when speaking to workers visiting an arms factory.
“Victory is certain, I have no doubt about that,” Vladimir Putin said on January 18 while visiting an arms factory in Saint Petersburg.
The Russian defense industry annually produces as many anti-aircraft missiles as any other manufacturer in the world, which among other things inspires confidence in Russia’s victory in Ukraine, the Russian president said, quoted by the official Ria Novosty news agency.
“Three times more anti-aircraft missiles per year than the United States”
“For example, we produce more than three times as many air defense missiles per year as the United States. In general, our defense industry produces about the same annual amount of air defense missiles as any other military-industrial sector company in the world. Our production is equal to world production,” he said, speaking to workers at the Obukhov plant, which is part of the Almaz-Antey enterprise, a larger enterprise of Russia’s military-industrial complex.
“I have no doubt”
“From the point of view of the end result and the inevitable victory, there are several things that have not disappeared and that underlie our victory. It is the unity and solidarity of the Russian people. C is the courage and heroism of our fighters within the framework of the special military Operation (the name given by the Kremlin to the Russian invasion of Ukraine) and on the front lines, of course, the work of military-industrial corporations like yours […]. I have no doubt about that,” he added.
