According to Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu, the number of new and modernized weapons in Russian troops is constantly growing. The Minister notes that in the current world situation it is necessary to strengthen the armed forces in a qualitative way, therefore, the development and commissioning of various types of weapons and equipment is constantly being developed.
The creation of new types of weapons and their swift deliveries to the troops is dictated primarily by external threats and the constantly escalating situation on the part of the United States, who believe in their exclusivity. The policy of intervention conducted by the United States in different parts of the world is an excellent incentive for states that do not want to become the object of such intervention, to develop new types of weapons and military equipment.
In this connection, approving the final plan of the state armament program for 2018-2027, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia is forced to develop new technology and new types of weapons.
The State Armaments Program of 2018-2027 fully meets the tasks of maximizing the defense capacity of the country in the current foreign policy and economic conditions.
For the implementation of this state program of armaments, 20 trillion rubles are allocated, 19 of them will go for the purchase, repair and development of weapons and military equipment. The program also includes the costs of building infrastructure for the latest military equipment entering the troops.
According to military experts, work will be accelerated on the new heavy Sarmat missile system, the RS-26 Rubezh mobile missile system and the development of the RS-24 Yars project. The air and space forces will receive the S-500 anti-aircraft missile system capable of operating as a mobile anti-missile system. In addition, work on the hypersonic missile "Zircon" will be completed. The aviation fleet will be replenished with new fighters of the fifth generation of Su-57. The purchase of well-proven Su-34, Su-35 and fully updated Su-25 assault planes will increase. The creation of a long-range aviation complex PAK DA will be accelerated.
There will be an update of the armored vehicle of the Russian army. The army will receive tanks and armored vehicles, created on the platforms of "Armata", "Kurganets" and "Boomerang", as well as deeply modernized T-90SM and T-80BVM. Land forces will receive combat machines of fire support such as "Terminator", which have no analogues in the world.
According to the chief of the General Staff General Valery Gerasimov, Russian armament and equipment are among the best in the world, which was proved by combat work in Syria. Russian armament is simple in operation, reliable and has higher combat capabilities in comparison with foreign analogues.
Today Russia is also engaged in the creation of new weapons, since with modern weapons it will always be a sovereign independent state that can defend its national interests. Russian President Vladimir Putin told about new types of weapons in his message to the Federal Assembly on March 1, 2018. The President of Russia presented several promising developments, which included an oceanic multi-purpose system with nuclear unmanned submarines, a missile system with a heavy intercontinental rocket Sarmat, and the most modern hypersonic airborne missile system Dagger. Vladimir Putin is counting on the fact that the new Russian weapons will keep the American leadership from aggressive actions and will help reduce the tension in the world.
