Russia's Defence Ministry on January 30 published footage of Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu visiting defence industry facilities in the Urals industrial city of Yekaterinburg.
In the videos published by the ministry on its channel on the Telegram messenger app, Shoigu is seen at several different factories variously producing sea- and ground-launched cruise missiles, and air defence systems.
Shoigu is shown in the footage saying that Russia's military production had expanded rapidly, even as he alluded to issues around producing engines and rocket launching equipment.
He said: "There has been a significant increase in the volume of production. We have more than doubled production of the missiles we need for air defence."
"But there are some key issues we need to address. And we need to address them quite vigorously. There is the question of engines, and there is the question of the establishment of launcher production."
Russian officials have in recent months stressed what they say are rapid improvements in the country's military-industrial capacity, aimed at bolstering Russia's military in its deadlocked campaign against Ukraine.
