Congratulations from Russian President Vladimir Putin on the occasion of Defender of the Fatherland Day.
Dear comrades! Friends!
Congratulations to veterans, personnel, civilian personnel of the Armed Forces, everyone who completed military service, on Defender of the Fatherland Day!
This holiday is one of the most revered in Russia. It has long become popular and is always celebrated widely, throughout the country, in all groups and families, in every city or village — with an understanding of the great significance of military labor, with great respect for our military personnel, for everyone who stands for the Motherland and protects its interests. , security of citizens, sovereignty and independence of Russia.
We are proud of our dear army and navy, their persistent, undaunted character, which was tempered in harsh battles. Their loyalty to the Russian military school, the behests of great commanders, the experience of many generations of Russian soldiers.
Defenders of the Fatherland in our country are surrounded by genuine people’s love, and devotion to the Fatherland, the sacred duty to protect it, to defend every inch of our land have always been and remain our most important, indisputable values.
On these holidays, we bow our heads before the feat of our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who crushed Nazism, take out their military orders and medals, photographs and letters from front-line soldiers, say heartfelt thanks, and tenderly hug our dear veterans. We will always remember that it was the Soviet people who defended the freedom of our country, all of Europe and the whole world.
Russian soldiers and officers worthily continue the glorious military traditions. At the forefront today are participants in a special military operation. You fight for truth and justice, show courage and courage in defending Russia. You are our true folk heroes. We are proud of you, we admire your courage, we honor your exploits. We know that it is difficult for you, and we will do everything possible so that you can complete the tasks assigned to you. Thank you for your valiant performance of military duty, for your honest, selfless service to the Fatherland.
Dear comrades!
There are many alarming challenges and risks in the modern world, and therefore the powerful potential and high combat readiness of our army and navy are a guarantee of Russia’s security, its free, sovereign development.
Taking into account real combat experience, we will continue to strengthen the Armed Forces in every possible way and ensure their constant technical re-equipment and modernization.
Today, the share of modern weapons and equipment in the strategic nuclear forces has already reached 95 percent, and the naval component of the “nuclear triad” is almost 100 percent.
Serial production of new Zircon hypersonic missiles has begun. Testing of other strike systems is being completed. Last December, new strategic submarines joined the Navy. Just the other day in Kazan, four Tu-160M missile carriers were transferred to the Armed Forces.
In general-purpose forces, we will also strive for the highest levels of equipment with modern weapons and equipment.
This work, I repeat, is carried out systematically and consistently. In recent years, defense industry enterprises have multiplied the production and supply of the most popular weapons to the troops, primarily high-precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles of various types, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, as well as air defense systems, counter-battery warfare, communications and reconnaissance equipment.
Next in line is the development and serial production of promising models, the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in the military sphere.
Among the priority tasks are increasing combat training, skill, coherence of actions of our units and formations, and training commanders at all levels. A strong support here is the sergeants and officers who have proven themselves in battle, who fought heroically on land, in the air and at sea. Real commanders, brave and decisive, they lead the soldiers. The future of our army and navy lies with them.
Dear friends!
The country, all citizens of Russia believe in the strength and reliability of their defenders and know that you are always on duty, always guarding the interests and security of the Fatherland.
I wish you good health and new successes for the benefit of the Motherland. And of course, the warmest congratulations to your families, your loved ones, those who love and wait for you, who are a reliable support for you in life and in work.
Happy holiday to you!
