According to earlier reports, the share of modern weapons in the Russian Armed Forces by the end of 2020 should be at least 70 percent in line with the task set by Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Vladimir Putin.
"By 2028, the district's troops must have at least 90 percent of modern equipment. Now its share is about 60 percent. Judging by the pace of deliveries, this task will be successfully solved," Zhidko said in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
