Putin explained why Russia needs hypersonic weapons

21

In the framework of the project “20 Questions to Vladimir Putin,” the head of state explained why Russia’s hypersonic weapons are of great importance in ensuring its security.

During the interview that the president gave TASS, he declared:

We are not going to fight with anyone, but we are creating such a situation in the field of defense that it would not occur to anyone to fight with us.

The Russian leader recalled that the country's defense budget is much smaller than the similar budget of the United States, China, Saudi Arabia, Britain, France and Japan.

Moreover, our expenses are decreasing year by year, while expenses of other countries are growing

- he added.

The president further noted that the creation of unique types of weapons allowed Russia to emerge from the role of a “catching up” state:

We first created such systems of offensive offensive weapons that are not in the world. Now they are catching up with us. This is generally a unique situation, this has never happened before.

Vladimir Putin specified that under the systems of offensive offensive weapons, he primarily means the hypersonic strike systems created in Russia, including intercontinental ones.

The head of state also drew attention to the fact that now for the defense of the country a little more than 1 million troops are enough compared to 1,3 million in 2000, and that the share of modern equipment in the troops grew from 6% to almost 70%.

In many ways, this became possible precisely thanks to the adoption of hypersonic systems that have no analogues in the world.

    There is a nuclear test site on Novaya Zemlya. Speed ​​up the animals. (For there is nothing for them to die because of human ambitions) And rush. What is stronger and really worthwhile and powerful. With real delivery to your destination. Let there be a Sakharov equivalent. And it was additionally announced that it was not in cobalt that there were fewer consequences during the tests. And I assure you, it will be much more obvious. And a much more effective argument 2 is that you can’t even think about touching us. hi

            What is Zhmerynka? Oh, the great spiritual ideal of mankind! With moral values ​​and Faith in God and the king! Otritsalovo reality and the dreamer about to live! In the morning, read the May decrees and go ahead - drink vodka and shame all the countries that envy us.

              What is Zhmerynka?

              This is your intellectual capital and spiritual center.

              Oh, the great spiritual ideal of mankind! With moral values ​​and Faith in God and the king! Otritsalovo reality and the dreamer about to live! In the morning, read the May decrees and go ahead - drink vodka and shame all the countries that envy us.

              Apparently, I was a little mistaken, what judging by the text, not Zhmerynka, rather -Ternopol. smile Typical "Svidomo" stamp, but for some reason instead of hawthorn tincture they wrote vodka. winked As for reality, why would I deny it? I don’t know how your life is arranged, I’m not complaining. My requests are modest, enough for life. I just don't like it when strange people try to tell me that, it turns out, I eat from the garbage, in the morning I drink a glass of vodka and sit down to watch "cartoons".
              If something does not suit you, the level of economic development of the region, the availability of work, the level of salary, and so on, then there are two options:
              1. Raise your seat and go, looking for a new place of residence and work.
              2. Sit and whine constantly. how bad you are, and trying to convince others that they are the same. Nobody will hold the pipeline with champagne to your house. The choice is yours, everything is in your hands. hi

                  And what, all the Russians to break loose and forward?

                  No, not everyone, someone can wait for communism with home delivery. winked But seriously, what the hell are you telling me about the impoverished and poor Russia? Why such an opinion? What statistics are there or what? Themselves for the whole country so decided?

                  And do thieves good?

                  Here again, slogans in the Ukrainian style begin. laughing Specifically, who is worshiping which thieves? So about Zhmerinka more understandable?

                You all want to persuade me that I am Ukrainian! I will tell you that I am Russian, but I respect them! I do not insult other nations and countries like you, and I do not support the war with the fraternal people, but you only need to destroy everyone and everything! Who are you, interesting? Aryan or superman? Ideal..

                  No, I mean, all the slogans are template, in their style.

                  I will tell you that I am Russian, but I respect them!

                  Who exactly? Ukrainians or horses with posters Bandera?

                  I do not insult other nations and countries like you, and I do not support the war with the fraternal people, but you only need to destroy everyone and everything!

                  What nations or countries have I offended? belay Can I have an example? request The same applies to the war with the fraternal people. sad

                  Who are you, interesting? Aryan or superman? Ideal..

                  This is again typical for Ukraine of the last 30 years. Turn everything over and blame everything that he himself is guilty of, they say, make excuses. sad If your "brothers" are zigging and running around with a swastika, you shouldn't throw it at me. This option will not work. No. Specifically, what is the essence of the claim? I do not pretend to be Aryan, such ideas are not close, by the way, Tajiks and Iranians consider themselves descendants of Aryans, I do not look like them. request As for the superman - no, not sure. Ideal? Perhaps not, I have one drawback - modesty. feel

                    For example, the latter! Maybe they have a staff shortage? Nowadays it is so difficult to find a normal black analyst of a certain sexual orientation, born a white girl, preferably also a vegetarian. Is it normal for you to insult a stranger like that?

                      Is it normal for you to insult a stranger like that?

                      Horrible, belay what particular person did I offend? lol



                      By the way, can you insult a familiar person? smile
                      It is also interesting, which of the following do you consider an insult? Black? White girl? A certain sexual orientation? Perhaps the analyst insulted you? Or a vegetarian?
                      For you, the news is that in those parts of the world it’s now accepted that in order to get a job it is often necessary to have one or more of the above qualities?

    - The whole world of animals quickly adapts ...- fearful animals come to people and demand food ...
    - And the little men, realizing ... - that you should not be afraid of "not shooting" and "not destroying" all kinds of "S-300, S-400, Yars, Iskander ..." etc ...; very soon they will no longer be afraid of any new "horror films", such as ... "Vanguard", "Sarmat", "Dagger" and "Zircon", etc ...
    - Yes, and nuclear weapons today, by and large, no one is afraid anymore ...
    - Give little people a real extreme ... - Selfies against the background of the "nuclear mushroom" ... - And some cartoons there, in very low-quality bad 3D ... - not even in 4K ... - it doesn't pull even a cheap one promotional video...
    - So all this "awful extreme" has already become anticipated ... like ... like the expectation of 5G (in Russia this can hardly be expected) ... - and suddenly it will be cool ... - Such are the things ... - "the goods are always shown with their face" ... - and not otherwise ...

    So also Karl von Clausewitz said that only that state is worth something if it can defend itself. And then in the past and the year before last, there were a lot of people who wished for our lands and wealth. And in the XNUMXst century, there are enough people who want to make the riches of Siberia an attribute of all American humanity.
