All the advanced states of the world are creating their own weapons in our time. Depending on the geographic, political and economic circumstances, countries sometimes make such types of weapons that only they have for a long time. Modern Russia is no exception in this respect.
1. MiG-31
Domestic supersonic all-weather fighter. The aircraft was developed in 1975. The new product was adopted in 1981. Over the past decades, the MiG-31 has been modernized several times, which allows it to remain in the ranks and maintain its combat relevance. To date, more than 500 of these fighters remain in service. The MiG-31 is also notable for the fact that at one time it became the first Soviet fourth-generation fighter.
2. Tu-160
The largest and most powerful supersonic variable-sweep aircraft in the history of military aviation. Today, the "White Swan" is also the heaviest combat aircraft in the world. And the fastest! The Tu-160 made its first flight in 1981. To date, 35 of these bombers have been produced. Without refueling, the aircraft can deliver cargo up to 12.3 thousand kilometers.
3. "Iskander"
The development of the Iskander missile system began during the Soviet era. The project began in 1988. However, the first launchers saw the light only in 2006. The installation is used to suppress enemy air defense and missile defense systems. The Iskander can successfully engage targets at a distance of up to 500 km from the missile launch site. The installation can shoot both nuclear and non-nuclear ammunition.
4. Arrow-10
Domestic anti-aircraft missile system, developed and adopted by the Soviet Union in 1976. The machine is used to control the airspace. An optoelectronic system helps her in this. Today, there are at least seven modifications of the "Arrow". The air defense complex is exported to more than two dozen countries. Over the past decades, it has been repeatedly and successfully used in armed conflicts, from Angola to Nagorno-Karabakh.
5. Sprut-SD
Domestic airborne self-propelled anti-tank gun. The Sprut is armed with a 125 mm caliber weapon, which is comparable to a tank gun. At the same time, the car can swim (including in the sea) and can be dropped by parachute. Used by both airborne and ground forces. The development of "Sprut" began in the years of the Soviet Union. The vehicle was put into service in 2005. To date, the troops have 36 Sprut-SD self-propelled cannons.
