“Despite all efforts, the military will only be able to establish a limited state of operational readiness by 2025,” Mais’in said. In the report, in which the expression was given, it was pointed out that the army would not be fully equipped with the desired systems in 2025, even if the stocks of the entire army were consulted.
In the report, it was pointed out that personnel and materials would be exhausted if measures were not taken, and therefore it was called for a continuous increase in the defense budget.
