"Models did not buy": what is not so much with the statement of the Russian Federation on the increase of production of tanks 7 times

In Russian "Rostech" stated an increase in the production of equipment, but Ukrainian expert Andriy Tarasenko notes that "production" was attributed and removed from weapons and modernized machines. The head of the Russian defense corporation "Rostekh" Sergey Chemezov stated that in 2023 it was possible to increase the production of tanks by 7 times, and lightly armed appliances 4 times. He said this on "Russia 24".

Chemezov claims that Russian enterprises are at times giving birth to the production of all types of weapons: it is claimed that now more tanks and BMPs are made in the Russian Federation than a year before the start of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. However, Ukrainian tank expert Andriy Tarasenko notes that the supply of equipment has indeed increased in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

However, if we talk about production, often these products were made by other countries or modernized. Tarasenko gives an example that the real release of new T-90M tanks stay at 2022-about 60 cars. When it comes to production, often the T-55, T-62 tanks are recorded in the Russian Federation in the Russian Federation. Modernization is mostly at Uralvagonzavod and Omsktransmash.
