Putin announces continued development of advanced missile systems

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia will continue developing advanced missile systems designed to penetrate both current and future missile defence systems, according to TASS.

Speaking during a visit to the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, a leading institution within Russia’s defence-industrial complex, Putin highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen the country’s strategic nuclear capabilities.

The institute is known for developing key strategic systems, including the Topol missile system, Topol-M missile system, Yars missile system and the Bulava missile.

“We will, of course, continue to modernise and develop strategic nuclear forces, create missile systems with increased combat power capable of overcoming all modern and future missile defence systems,” Putin said.
