Russia is ready to set off joint production of military equipment on the territory of Uzbekistan, the Russian President Vladimir Putin noted during the talks in Tashkent.

"We are ready to develop military-technical cooperation, bearing in mind not only the supply of weapons and modern equipment, but also the joint production of this equipment on the territory and at enterprises of Uzbekistan.
