Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia is constructing new defense industry plants in areas of the country considered safer, with construction already under way, according to state media reporting.
The announcement points to an effort by Moscow to relocate or expand parts of its defense manufacturing base to locations deemed less vulnerable, though the specific regions involved and the scale of the construction programme have not been detailed in the available reporting.
Limited details so far
Putin's remarks did not specify a timeline for completion of the new facilities or the number of plants involved. The statement was brief, confirming only that construction of the defense plants is under way in areas identified as safe.
The move follows a broader pattern in which countries engaged in prolonged military efforts have sought to secure and diversify their industrial production capacity, reducing the risk that manufacturing could be disrupted. No further details on funding, production capacity, or the specific types of defense equipment to be manufactured at the new sites have been reported.
Further information about the location and scope of the construction programme is expected to emerge as the projects progress.
