JAKARTA - The Russian Navy receives more warships and other ships from year to year, with more than 40 warships to be received this year, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on shipbuilding.

President Putin said one of Russia's goals was "to increase the Navy comprehensively, including ship components, aircraft and coastal components, as well as base infrastructure, to strengthen its position in crucial strategic areas in the world's oceans, drastically increasing its combat potential."

"A lot has been done in this field, because our Navy has obtained new ships," President Putin said, launching TASS June 27. Improvement and overall equipment rejuvenation are underway," he continued.

President Putin said, compared to 2022 when the Navy was given 24 new ships and ships, by 2023 the number was 33. Meanwhile, more than 40 ships and ships are planned to be delivered by 2024.

The Kremlin leadership stressed that the world has experienced increasing geopolitical tensions, while ruling elites in some countries have regularly threatened Russia, even taking concrete steps to realize this threat.

"Of course, we must be very diligent and responsive in dealing with this development by taking into account all the risks that may occur and responding appropriately, which includes strengthening our Armed Forces and Navy," he said, quoted from the Kremlin website.

The mission to improve fleet combat capabilities requires special attention to introduce remote threat detection systems, including UAVs. This not only refers to the use of air defense systems to control airspace, but also increases the ability to monitor water and underwater to counter enemy marine autonomous systems, "said President Putin.

"We must maintain fleets, Navy bases, and fleet operations from possible peripheral attacks, while also developing fleet air reconnaissance capabilities and expanding our reconnaissance assets and electronic warfare," he said.
