Russian President Vladimir Putin brags about Russia’s “high-precision weapons” and claimed that Moscow is ready to sell them to global allies.
Amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the Russian president announced that it is ready to release and sell weapons that are ‘decades ahead’ of Western counterparts.
According to Putin, Russia is “is ready to offer partners and allies the most modern types of weapons – from small arms to armoured vehicles and artillery, combat aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.”
The Russian President also claimed that Russia could offer new models and systems, saying: “We are talking about high-precision weapons and robotics, about combat systems based on new physical principles.
“Many of them are years, or maybe decades ahead of their foreign counterparts, and in terms of tactical and technical characteristics they are significantly superior to them.”
On February 24, the Russian President ordered to invade Ukraine despite Western intelligence, suggesting that he expected a swift victory while his army has been pushed back from Ukraine’s largest cities.
Moreover, amid the battle, Ukrainian authorities have reportedly claimed that almost 44,000 Russian soldiers have been killed.
A report released by Western military analysts says “the poor performance of Russian troops and weaponry could make its arms exports less attractive to potential buyers, such as India, which have heavily relied on its technology in the past,” yahoo news reported.
However, despite the reports and data released by the West, the Russian President still insisted that Russia’s army and its supporters in the east of Ukraine were fulfilling their objectives.
“Step by step they are liberating the land of Donbas,” he said.
However, reports in May revealed that Russian troops were shooting their own legs using the Ukrainian ammunition to avoid fighting and make it appear they were hit by defenders.
In the latest estimate released by the Ukrainian government, there were over 14,000 troops killed in the battlefield.
According to the data intercepted by the Belarusian Media outlet, one Russian soldier was heard saying: “They’ve been shooting at us for 14 days. We’re scared. We’re stealing food, breaking into houses. We’re killing civilians.”
“Russian officers shoot themselves in the legs to go home. There are corpses everywhere,” the soldier continued.
