The modern Russian Armed Forces are strikingly different from the army that was in the 90s and in the early 2000s. Today, the Russian Armed Forces receive the most modern weapons. By 2020, the newest models of military equipment and weapons in the Russian army should be at least 70%. According to experts, over 19 trillion rubles can be spent on the modernization of the army. Such a huge amount provides a new state program on military-technical priorities and arming the Russian army.
Prospects for the newest secret weapons of the Russian army
The rearmament of the army is not only the supply of already created modern equipment to the troops. Russia is constantly developing the development of fundamentally new weapons, as well as making decisions on their maximum development. According to experts, in the next decade, the Russian Air Force will receive the latest types of weapons:
- over 500 aircraft of various types;
- over 1000 helicopters of different types;
- over 200 of the newest air defense systems that will merge into a single aerospace defense system;
- the latest fighter of the fifth generation;
- new long-range aircraft;
- upgraded and new ballistic missiles for the nuclear deterrent forces;
- the newest types of precision weapons are a variety of bombs and missiles with the latest guidance systems;
- New types of anti-tank weapons and air defense systems of a new generation;
- new small arms.
