Putin Pushes Russia’s Navy Towards Self-Reliance Amid Western Sanctions | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Russian President Vladimir Putin is working to expand Moscow’s military capabilities. Russia has been facing some difficulties amid its war against Ukraine. By March this year, Ukrainian naval drones had sunk five Russian vessels. While Russia continues to maintain an upper hand on the battlefield, it has decided to introduce some major reinforcements on the high seas. This year, the Russian Navy is set to receive 12 surface warships and 4 submarines. Officials in Moscow claim that Russia has achieved 100% import substitution. Western sanctions have cut Russia’s access to international markets. However, these sanctions have accelerated Moscow’s push towards self-reliance. Last year, President Putin had said that “we are consistently equipping the navy with the most modern equipment and weapons and, let me emphasise, we are increasing serial production.” Palki Sharma tells you more.
