The growing intensity of NATO aviation flights near the borders of Russia requires improving the aerospace defense system. The deployment of US missiles in Europe poses a threat, Vladimir Putin said, opening a series of defense meetings in Sochi.
The President of Russia announced the need to further modernize the country's VKS system. According to him, the maintenance of strategic parity depends on the combat readiness of the VKS, taking into account the fact that some foreign colleagues are trying to break it. Russia will respond adequately to such attempts, Putin said.
