"Scientific innovations include the creation of systems based on various physical principles. There are active and passive deployment methods, automatic guidance and laser guidance. Currently, research is being conducted on the development of weapons based on new physical principles," he said.

The general mentioned the Smolensk air defense academy, which presented at the forum seven scientific reports in the field of radar and electrodynamics.

"This allows us to create new models of weapons, continue to use them in science and make a big step forward in the development of training vehicles. When the time comes, everything will be introduced," Leonov said.

According to him, by the late 1990s, "in terms of quality, Russia's military defense systems were about ten years ahead of their Western counterparts."

"In general, no other country has such a wide range of long-range, medium-range, short-range and close-range air defense missile systems. This system allows creating a flexible multi-layered air defense network on the battlefield," Leonov concluded.
