-called womb, an aircraft womb. this will allow increase, firstly, the range of application, and secondly. it will be both a reconnaissance means, a means of fire destruction, and a means of objective control, that is, it will carry three components in one, plus everything, it will increase the fire capabilities of the units. the entire western community is working for our enemy, dreaming that russia in its current form will no longer exist. to be successful in this confrontation system, we need to be one step ahead in new technologies, he emphasized the president. this concerns intelligence, this concerns. strike weapons, this applies to many other tasks, there are a lot of them, in the rear they can be solved with the help of drones and on the field on the line of combat contact, we work in different directions, special research institutions are also working, the structure of the ministry of defense is working, in the first

case, i meant the civil services, this is how we often do now... the result will be. guards colonel khalikov, whose 74th guards motorized rifle brigade took berdychi in the avdeysk direction, raised the topic of robotic systems; they perform well on the front line. in this locality , a courier ground robotic complex was used, which was equipped, two of them were equipped with an ags-17 automatic grenade launcher.

the use of such equipment in assault operations is allowed. there are developments, and we will take what to hide, we will take what we see on the international market, and we developed them ourselves, so that despite all the difficulties, we still get some things, they are double, triple, there are also civilian purposes, of course

they can be adapted for modern combat operations, but i repeat once again there are good developments of our own, so we will definitely bring this to light. russia will expand its line of air, water and underwater drones. the president mentioned the already famous fabs, high-explosive bombs with a controlled planning and correction module, against which enemy electronic warfare systems are powerless. russian designers, scientists, engineers “work day and night,” vladimir putin said, concluding the open part of the meeting with officers, and this is one of the keys to victory. anton potkovenko, all. well, dig. festive events take place throughout moscow, for example, at vdnkh in front of the arch of the main entrance, a concert of the opera singer, honored artist of russia eldar abdrazzakov. big program. today we are at the russia exhibition, we’ll learn more about everything from our correspondent maria valieva, she’s joining us live . maria, hello, tell me, please, what did you surprise your guests with today? yes,
