[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The Ukrainian-Russian war has lasted for more than 10 months. Under the pressure of huge war losses and Western sanctions, Russia has become a major challenge for the country to obtain more combat readiness.

Russian state media reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin scolded Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade in charge of Russian defense companies, during a government meeting yesterday (11th), sparking heated discussions.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the Russian official media "Ria Novosti" released a clip of Putin's video conference with government officials on the 11th. During the meeting, Putin mentioned that there are still some Russian companies that have not been able to purchase new aircraft, including military aircraft. , New aircraft required by civil aviation companies sanctioned by Europe and the United States.

Manturov responded, "Russia's import and export channels with Western countries are currently cut off. It is a difficult task to get more new aircraft contracts, but there are many "investment projects" in progress... ", Putin interrupted before Manturov finished speaking, complaining that "(investment) takes too long", he wants to see results immediately and see more purchase orders.

Putin went on to say that some companies did not even get procurement contracts for this year. Manturov quickly refuted, saying that "all companies" have orders for this year, and the Ministry of Defense has also confirmed it.

Faced with Manturov's "back talk", Putin seemed to be furious and yelled at Manturov on the spot: "What's the use of you arguing with me here? Everyone told me that I didn't get the contract. What are you playing?" Idiot? When will the contract be signed?...All this will be done within a month, within a month!"

The U.S. news website "The Daily Beast" joked when it reported the incident. Since the Ukrainian army launched a counterattack and the Russian army suffered frequent setbacks on the front line, Putin seems to be able to prove his dominance only through fierce subordinates. The clip of him blaming his subordinates seems to be trying to play up Putin's tough image.

"Доооолгоооо. Слишком путин".
