The armament of Russia with cruise missiles has increased 30 times.

According to the information that has appeared, over the past 6 years, since the appointment of Sergei Shoigu as head of the Ministry of Defense, Russia's armament with cruise missiles has increased 30 times, which, according to some analysts, indicates a significant increase in the country's military power.

“For six years, a breakthrough has been made in equipping the Armed Forces with long-range precision weapons. <...> As a result, the number of ground, sea and air-based carriers has increased more than 12 times, and the number of high-precision cruise missiles - more than 30 times. Domestic long-range high-precision weapons have proven their high efficiency and reliability in the course of hostilities in Syria ", - informs the edition "the Red star".

It should be clarified that Russia is indeed actively rearming itself, however, the source of the Avia.pro resource drew attention to the fact that most of the ammunition used in Syria belongs to the old types of weapons developed during the Soviet Union.

According to experts, in the event that if the United States of America does indeed withdraw from the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Short-Range Missiles, then Russia will actively continue to build up its military power, including through the production of cruise missiles.

They also talked about the creation of unique hypersonic weapons, in particular, these include the Kinzhal, Avangard and Sarmat complexes, however, as the corruption investigation of the Novaya Gazeta newspaper showed, in reality, Tactical Missile Armament Corporation conducted financial transactions through a firm that provided wedding makeup services.
