Russian defense industry hit by critical workforce shortfall
The chairman of the Russian State Duma Control Commission discussed the workforce shortage in the defense industry on Wednesday.
As reported by the Interfax agency, Oleg Morozov stated that, based on some estimates, the Russian defense industry is expected to face a shortage of approximately 400,000 specialists shortly.
Morozov attributes this situation to an "excess of students in the humanities" and a "shortage of students in engineering fields."
