“The delivery of strategic drones is expected in the near future,” Shoigu said.
According to him, this will help save the flight crew and significantly reduce the cost of solving reconnaissance and fire missions by reducing the consumption of ammunition and the resource of aircraft.
“Modern complexes with operational unmanned aerial vehicles continue to be supplied to the army and navy,” he stressed.
Earlier, Shoigu said that by the end of the year, 12 new units and subdivisions would be created in the west of Russia.
