JAKARTA - President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia's strong and successful military-industrial complex increased production, becoming one of the three keys to Russia winning the war in Ukraine.
He said Russia's military-industrial complex produces as many air defense missiles as all world manufacturers combined. In addition, President Putin noted a number of other components that convinced him of Russia's victory.
"From the point of view of the final result and victory, which was inevitable, there are several things that form the basis of our victory. The unity and solidarity of the Russian people, the courage and heroism of our fighters in special military operations and at the front. And, of course, operations military-industrial complex, enterprises like yours," said President Putin during a visit to the Obukhov State Factory (a subsidiary of Almaz-Antey), reported by TASS on January 19.
President Putin further said that Russian arms companies produce nearly the same amount of anti-aircraft missiles as the rest of the world combined, and three times as many as the United States.
"Victory is certain, I have no doubts about it," President Putin said, as quoted by Reuters.
Earlier, President Putin attended an event with veterans to mark the 80th anniversary of the lifting of the Second World War siege on his hometown, then known as Leningrad, which had been blockaded by Nazi German troops for nearly 900 days.
He told veterans Russia was fighting in Ukraine to defend ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, who Moscow said were subject to systematic discrimination in Ukraine.

Kyiv rejects the accusations and says Moscow is using it as a pretext for a colonial-style land grab.
"What we are doing today, including with our special operation, is an attempt to stop this war and protect our people living in this region," said President Putin.
"This is our historical territory," he stressed, referring to the fact that most of present-day Ukraine was once part of the Russian Empire.
