"This is directly related to the development in the leading countries of advanced attack weapons with high speed characteristics. This is also required by the general military and political situation, including the growing intensity of NATO aviation flights near Russia, the appearance of alliance ships with guided missile weapons in the waters of the Baltic and Black Seas. And now, you know, the US ship has entered the Black Sea, we can look at it through binoculars or through the sight of the corresponding defense systems. There are also plans known to all the United States to deploy medium-range missiles in Europe, which also poses a great danger and threat to us. Therefore, in accordance with earlier decisions, more than 200 aircraft and 26 S-350 and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as the first production model or the first production samples of the newest S—500 anti-aircraft missile system will be delivered to the troops in the coming years," the president said.
