Participants in the meeting discussed organisational aspects of the creation and modernisation of state-of-the-art small arms and close combat weapons. In his opening remarks, the deputy prime minister said that, along with providing strategic arms and high-precision weapons, the state focuses a great deal of attention on small arms used by security agencies on a daily basis.
To develop long-term technical requirements for the equipment of the military and its separate systems, and to conduct tests in the Military-Industrial Commission under the Government of the Russian Federation, a special Interdepartmental Working Group (laboratory) has been established in the Military-Industrial Commission under the Government of the Russian Federation. "It will start working within a few weeks, and we are very interested in not having any intermediaries in our cooperation with the customer and the contractor," Rogozin said.
The deputy prime minister pointed out that this laboratory will incorporate the expertise of designers and manufacturers on the basis of the actual experience of people who use arms and close combat weapons in practice.
