MOSCOW. Feb 20 (Interfax) - Russia has ramped up production of the Kinzhal hypersonic nuclear-capable, air-launched ballistic missile, Rostec head Sergei Chemezov said.
"Serial production began long ago, but we did not need so many before. Currently, we are ramping up production," Chemezov said in an interview with the Voyennaya Priyomka program aired by the Zvezda Plus channel.
Rostec is making colossal amounts of products for the Russian Defense Ministry, Chemezov said.
"The volume has increased significantly, it is up 50 times in some cases," he said.
A large growth has primarily been observed in ammunition production, Chemezov said.
