According to Mr. Putin, in addition to the new weapons that have been tested on the battlefield, the Russian army has begun receiving the S-500 air defense systems, which experts assess as a modern air defense system with no analogues in the world. The heavy intercontinental ballistic missile “Sarmat” has also been successfully tested and is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2022.
President Putin stressed that the Russian army needs to make more widespread use of robots, the latest control and reconnaissance tools, unmanned aerial vehicles and actively develop modern weapons systems.
Analysts say that in the context of the special military campaign in Ukraine that may last a long time, and the relationship with the West and NATO showing no signs of improvement, Russia will increasingly strengthen its military potential to deal with national security risks that may arise at any time./.
