Putin: The new government weapons program must guarantee an all -purpose system for air defense

“The new government weapons program must guarantee the creation of an all -purpose air defense system that can operate in any environment and effectively destroy the air strikes, regardless of their type,” ISNA reported.

The Russian president added that the new weapons plan should focus on widespread exploitation of emerging digital technologies and artificial intelligence in arms and military equipment systems, as well as emphasizing “the development of new physical principles, land and marine robotics systems”.

“The development of space forces is still one of the most important areas of focus,” he said, referring to Russia’s advances in the aerospace field.

The Russian leader added that the formation of a group of spacecraft for various purposes should be completed in a timely manner.

“This will enhance the ability to identify as well as immediate control of forces and weapons,” Putin said.

“I want to point out that we are now creating forces of unmanned systems as an independent branch of the armed forces,” Putin said. “The establishment and development of these forces must be done at the highest speed and quality.”

The Russian president added that the country is aware of the way its enemies perform in the drone.

“Overall, I don’t think we will be lagging behind in this area,” he said.

Putin also said that Russian drone operators have destroyed or disabled a significant portion of the enemy’s military equipment.

“We are witnessing a rapid increase in the effectiveness in the use of drones,” he said. They are able to disrupt armored vehicles, strong positions, communication systems, transportation and enemy forces. “For example, our UAV operators are currently responsible for destroying or damaging a significant portion of enemy equipment and facilities – as much as 5 %.”

The Russian president also said of the Ukrainian War: “Since the start of special military operations, air defense forces have destroyed more than 6,000 aerial targets – including two operational -tactical and modern cruise missiles, as well as rockets that were about 2% of the West -made.”
