(Itar-Tass) — Prime Minister Vladimir Putin called for an overhaul of existing army control, communication and reconnaissance systems.
The experience of the latest local conflicts showed that up-to-date army control, communication and reconnaissance systems were “one of the critical factors of combat capability of the modern army”.
“It’s hard to imagine an effective transition to a modern organisational structure of the Armed Forces without such systems,” the prime minister said at a meeting on the defence industry on Monday.
