Alexander Volfovich familiarized himself with the production of a defense sector enterprise in the Orsha district
During a working visit to the Orsha district, State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus Aleksandr Volfovich visited one of the enterprises within the State Military Industrial Committee system. The Lieutenant General familiarized himself with the production, the progress of project implementation, and assessed the current situation.
– In a short period, this enterprise has made significant strides. Production has been organized in a completely new way. It is equipped with modern machinery and staffed by specialists. A great deal has been accomplished in a year. Both the factory management and the leadership of the military-industrial committee approach tasks with understanding, – noted Aleksandr Volfovich.
He emphasized that the President of our country has tasked the State Secretariat with overseeing the supply of new types of weaponry to the armed forces and other paramilitary organizations.
– The current global situation is complex, with military conflicts erupting and hostilities occurring in various parts of the world. Belarus is located in the center of Europe, and all these processes affect our republic. Unfortunately, the level of military threats is increasing. This is despite the peaceful initiatives, proposals, and peaceful rhetoric emanating from our Head of State. We observe unfriendly actions towards Belarus, accusations that we pose a threat to the European continent. Belarus does not prioritize militarization or increasing the size of its armed forces – which is what Poland and the Baltic states are doing. Attempts to destabilize the situation, instigated by Western curators and our "fugitives," continue unabated. Everything related to security and military security is under the control of our President – he keeps his finger on the pulse, – noted the State Secretary of the Security Council.
To protect its national interests, there must be its own models of weaponry and military equipment.
He recalled that a meeting was held last week where the Head of State was briefed on the main issues concerning missile production.
– This is an absolutely new industry for our country. In just 5 years, we have built this production from scratch and trained our specialists. The President was interested in the direction for further development and the paths we see. The leadership of the State Military Industrial Committee and the Ministry of Defense have outlined the development prospects for this sector. There are new developments. We have mastered the production of ammunition for artillery systems and multiple launch rocket systems by reformatting some civilian enterprises, and have indeed achieved modern ammunition production technologies for our armed forces. This also includes export goods, which, unfortunately, are in demand, – emphasized the State Secretary of the Security Council.
In a conversation with journalists, the Lieutenant General said that much has been done in terms of developing electronic warfare systems, optical devices, and personal protection and equipment.
– Missiles, robots, aircraft – these are important. But the most important thing on the battlefield today remains the human, the soldier, who carries out tasks. He needs to be protected and armed, – stressed Alexander Volfovich. - And considering our Belarusian forest and marshy terrain, we are focusing on the development of our models of weapons, military equipment, and personal protection means. All this is not to threaten our neighbors, but to protect national interests, to ensure the peace and security of our people. We are not threatening anyone, but we are preparing to defend our sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is what our grandfathers achieved 80 years ago with weapons in their hands, liberating the country from the Nazi invaders.
