The profitability of Rostec's production is currently about 2.28%. Without direct funding from the Ministry of Defense, many enterprises are in a state of "just to survive," said Sergey Chemezov, head of the state corporation.
According to him, today Rostec provides 80% of the army's needs for weapons.
The Ministry of Defense's task is to obtain high-quality and effective weapons, and economics are secondary for the military. Of course, we have accumulated a huge number of problems in this area. The profitability of our production today is only 2.28%.
Chemezov noted that, at a minimum, profitability should be about 5%, and even better, from 5 to 10%.
With the current profitability rate, it is difficult to develop. We create new modern equipment only if the Ministry of Defense allocates direct funding for R&D or research and development work. Without this, many enterprises are in a state of "just to survive."
