RT @DanielR33187703: 1. Developing a new weapon is hard so why not just copy another company’s design? Fibre optic drones are a hot product…

Russia’s BARS-SARMAT detachment is posting tests of its own Lancet-like ISR and combat drone. Supposedly, the detachment built this UAV on its own. https://t.co/bg0IjLiUYt https://t.co/xw2Eu9RFhK

More from Putin’s speech today: Education at Russian military academies must evolve with the current battlefield threats, especially for junior officers. Moreover, military regulations for ground forces need to change to correspond to threats encountered in Ukraine. https://t.co/Goag0gWLo4

President Putin ordered the government and the military to speed up the development of unmanned and robotic systems, with a special focus on USVs and laser systems capable of countering unmanned tech. https://t.co/5VoxfU56hF https://t.co/gJ5XKjnFN7
