Quote from Putin: "The conduction of the special military operation (the war in Ukraine – ed.) also revealed problems. So, we need to seriously rebuild the communication system, use modern means of reconnaissance, targeting and counter-battery warfare much more effectively, and increase the capabilities of our satellite group, not only in the area of special operation but also at the global level."

Details: According to Putin, the Russians need to seriously increase the production and supply of high-precision projectiles and drones of various types. "I know that changes are happening, they are happening quite quickly, I will tell you more about it. But we still need to work on it, we need to consolidate this trend. The work of air defenсe also needs to be improved," Putin said.

Putin also said that the Russian army should be equipped, in particular, with equipment based on artificial intelligence and new physical principles.

At the same time, the Russian President pointed out the role of the nuclear triad of the Russian Federation. He threatened that by the end of the year, the Russians would supply 15 Yars and Avangard launchers.
