Asking for a “business contribution”
Kartapolov says that Russia is a big country, so “there will always be a gap” through which a drone can fly. There is no money in the budget. The official denies that the budget of the Ministry of Defense is aimed at “protecting important state and military facilities.”
Therefore, they ask for “the contribution of business to security.” They say this will protect oil depots, gas distribution stations, power plants, bridges, overpasses and factories. Kartapalov said that there are “fairly inexpensive means of combating drones”
Every self-respecting corporation can purchase and install on their facilities,” the official said.
Moreover, he believes, businessmen should buy air defense systems on an ongoing basis. Russian business has yet to respond to such proposals.
