Russian business will finance air defense systems to protect industrial facilities. This was stated by the head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) Alexander Shokhin, TASS reports.

According to Shokhin, entrepreneurs are ready to allocate funds for the creation and installation of air defense systems to protect their enterprises.

"Ready to chip in, so to speak. And, probably, the question is that this process needs to be stimulated. Here's a pilot for an investment tax deduction, let's at least start with that. This is a serious investment. Let's not be afraid that in wartime it is necessary to stimulate companies' investments in this sphere, in the sphere of protecting production facilities from attacks," Shokhin said.

According to him, air defense systems will be needed by enterprises even in the event of an early settlement of the conflict.
