President sets task to keep pace and improve financial performance of defense enterprises

The results of the work and development of the military-industrial complex were discussed at a meeting of the President with the Chairman of the State Military and Industrial Committee. Roman Golovchenko became head of the committee at the end of August. The time has come for a detailed report. Belarus retained a production base and powerful scientific schools that allow for creation of modern weapons for protection. Unfortunately, the demand for precision weapons is growing in the world. Belarus produces defense systems that are a major deterrent in the current difficult situation on the planet. In general, enterprises of the Belarusian military industrial complex are working effectively. Alexander Lukashenko set the task to keep the pace and double the financial indicators.

Alexander Lukashenko sets the task to quickly find and develop new areas in the defense industry. Opportunities to create advanced weapons were demonstrated to the Head of State in early October at the test site in the Ivatsevichi district. The Belarusian army is equipped today in accordance with the best international standards. The efforts of the developers will be focused on the further development of rocket production.

The multiple launch rocket system of the new generation Polonez is in fact the first complete development of the Belarusian scientists. Among the priorities is the creation of a line of attack unmanned aerial systems of various types. They can significantly strengthen the aviation group. Well-equipped Armed Forces ensure quick and adequate response to emerging threats and a guarantee of stability.

An important indicator of effectiveness is exports. Annual growth is observed here: since 2004, product deliveries have increased almost 7 times and reached a billion dollars. Previously, the President had made a decision to preserve this sector of the economy and an important part of national defense. It was at the initiative of Alexander Lukashenko 15 years ago that the state committee was created, which today pursues a unified policy in the field of defense and in the military-technical sphere.
