However. It is not reported which of the listed types of weapons Russia possesses, although the president and military leaders have repeatedly mentioned that the Russian army is armed with hypersonic missiles and combat lasers, which have no analogues in the world.
“With all the existing economic problems, Russia has managed to create structures that effectively develop new types of weapons, including unconventional ones. To optimize costs, for example, conscripts from scientific companies are involved in military research activities. There is a military innovation technopolis ERA in the Russian Federation, the purpose of which is to ensure the search, development and implementation of breakthrough technologies in the defense sector,” military expert, Colonel Nikolai Shulgin comments on the situation.
