Borisov\u2019s duties were handed over to Denis Manturov, the minister of industry and trade who was also given the rank of a deputy prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manturov has held the ministerial job since 2012 and reportedly has Putin\u2019s favor, accompanying the Russian president on most foreign and domestic trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5338\" height=\"3559\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196501251422.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196501251422.jpg.jpg 5338w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196501251422.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196501251422.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196501251422.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196501251422.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196501251422.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5338px) 100vw, 5338px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov, left, walks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Zhukovsky on July 20, 2021.

Borisov acknowledged some of the shortcomings in recent comments, saying that military industries should have been more active in developing and producing drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think we were late with the deployment of drones,\u201d he said in an interview with state television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Borisov\u2019s appointment to the important position of Roscosmos chief indicates he hasn\u2019t completely fallen from grace, despite the weapons procurement issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was no immediate word on a new job for Rogozin, who had served as Roscosmos chief since 2018 and became known for his blustery anti-West rhetoric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early 2000s, Rogozin led a nationalist party, winning notoriety for his anti-migrant stance, and later served as Moscow\u2019s envoy to NATO. In 2011, he was named a deputy prime minister in charge of weapons industries and space, the job he held before Putin named him Roscosmos chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2838\" height=\"1892\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196500618415.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196500618415.jpg.jpg 2838w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196500618415.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196500618415.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196500618415.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196500618415.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22196500618415.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2838px) 100vw, 2838px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The head of Russia&#8217;s Roscosmos space agency, Dmitry Rogozin, walks in Baikonur airport in Kazakhstan in 2018.
