The increased demand for air defense systems and electronic warfare means suggests that the method of warfare has changed, said Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation
MOSCOW, November 2. /tass/. S-400 air defense systems and Pantsir-S1 complexes have become the most popular Russian weapons among foreign customers in 2021. This was announced in an interview with RBC by the director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSVTS) Dmitry Shugaev.
"Our S-400 air defense systems. The Pantsir-S1 missile and cannon complexes, which have proven their effectiveness, in particular, in destroying drones. Our entire line of aviation, and this is at least 50% of our sales volume. Anti-tank "Cornet", MLRS "Smerch" and our other guided weapons systems are still in serious demand," Shugaev said, answering a question about the most popular military products this year.
He noted that the increased demand for air defense systems and electronic warfare means suggests that the method of warfare has changed. "Now we see that the era of drones and robots has come. The more UAVs and robotic systems are used - and aerial drones, for example, are used everywhere today - the more there is a need for weapons of destruction and electronic suppression," said the director of the Federal Security Service.
