The Federation Council noted Russia's leadership in the development of modern weapons

Russia has outperformed its competitors in the development of modern weapons. This was stated on November 15 in an interview with Izvestia by Konstantin Kosachev, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council.

"Russia is an order of magnitude ahead of its competitors in the West, in the East, in the South, and anywhere else, in terms of developing the most advanced weapons, both in terms of range and accuracy," he said.

In addition, he said that Western countries are currently using Ukraine for their own interests in order to intercept technology or bribe specialists, including those who use modern weapons. Thus, Kiev fulfills orders from powerful powers that perceive Russia as a geopolitical rival. According to Kosachev, they are trying either to restrain the development of the Russian Federation, or in various ways to reach the level that Russia has provided for itself.
