Russia is developing universal miniature cruise missiles for ships and aircraft. At the same time, the reduction of the warhead and other elements of the weapon will not affect the decrease in combat power.
This was stated on the air of the Russia-24 TV channel by Viktor Obnosov, General Director of the Tactical Missile Armament Corporation.
By minimizing the size of the carrier platform, it can be armed with a much larger stock of missiles than before.
"It is clear to everyone that if the problem can be solved, for example, with a product that weighs 100 kilograms instead of one ton, then, of course, more such products can be placed on the carrier and it will be more efficient," Viktor Obnosov stressed.
By the way
In December last year, information appeared: Russian drones "Pacer", "Outpost" and "Altius", as well as helicopters, will receive a new guided missile X-UAV. The flight range is up to 10 kilometers. The missile is capable of effectively hitting heavy armored vehicles and subsonic air targets at an altitude of up to 9 kilometers.
