Russia Says 2025 Defense Order Met as Manturov Reports Record Arms Exports, Space Gains

Putin demanded productivity figures that strip out second-shift effects.

Overview

  • Enterprises fulfilled the state defense order for 2025, and more than 1,000 new or modernized systems were trialed on the frontline, with additional models slated to appear in the SVO zone this quarter.
  • The export orderbook for Russian military equipment reached a record $70 billion in signed contracts by year-end 2025.
  • Civilian products now account for over 30% of output at defense plants after roughly 10% annual growth over the past three years, with further projects planned.
  • The space sector logged about 10% revenue growth in 2025 as the orbital fleet expanded from 288 to 300 satellites, and Earth observation services shift this year to a new procurement model backed by 5 billion rubles across 11 agencies.
  • Defense, industry and finance ministries agreed on a year-by-year approach to balance the defense sector’s product line in line with productivity gains following the president’s directive to refine measurement.
