President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that the quality of Russian weaponry was improving, but that the country lacked high-precision ammunition and drones.
Putin said Russia had increased its production of key weapons by 2.7 times over the past year, and he also accused the West of pumping weapons into Ukraine.

Russia still needs more drones, but it uses what it has more effectively than the enemy, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with war correspondents.
He drew attention to the fact that about eight years ago the country began rearmament of the army, creating a "solid groundwork."
"Of course, in the course of the special military operation, it became clear that many things were lacking. These are precision-guided munitions, communications equipment, UAVs. Yes, drones. We have them. Unfortunately, we do not have enough of them," the President said.
Putin said that during attack attempts by Ukrainian armed forces, Russian forces had destroyed several Ukrainian tanks, in particular by using kamikaze drones. According to him, the Russian military uses UAVs very effectively. "Probably much more effective than the means that the enemy has," he added.
