The President recalled that in recent years there has been "large-scale systematic work" on "developing a comprehensive army, equipping the army with advanced technologies."
The Avangard missile system with its planned wing unit, our intercontinental range system will seriously enhance the potential of the Strategic Missile Forces, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief stressed.
He also noted that the Kinzhal complex and the Peresvet laser system have been put on combat duty.
Mr. Putin noted that modern weapons, including Zircon hypersonic missiles, which have no analogues in the world in terms of range and speed, will be equipped on new surface ships and nuclear submarines.
According to the President, such modern, high-precision and powerful weapons will now determine the future appearance of the Russian Armed Forces.
In this regard, requirements for personnel training, quality and intensity of combat training have also become more demanding, Mr. Putin said.
