The regular equipping of our units with modern weapons and military equipment made in Turkey, France, Spain, Italy, Israel, Russia, Belarus, and other countries with developed defense industry demonstrates the significant superiority of our army over the enemy in terms of logistic support.
The Minister gave specific instructions to command staff to continue active reconnaissance in the depths of the enemy’s defense using modern equipment, to improve the conditions of combat duty, to ensure the safety of military personnel, to increase the level of combat and mobilization readiness, to provide medical services to servicemen and on the other issues. -06D--
