Recall

In 2024, Putin announced plans to establish serial production of "Oreshnik" missiles.

Earlier it was reported that the head of the Kremlin plans to spend about 40% of budget funds on defense and the security bloc in 2026, which is a record since the times of the USSR. This indicates the Kremlin's intention to continue the war, despite the budget deficit and cuts in social programs.
