Since the beginning of this year, Russia has adopted an additional 48 Caliber cruise missiles. Information about this was voiced by the head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Sergei Shoigu, who stressed that this weapon allows Russia to significantly increase the defense capability of the Russian army.
