The Russian Helicopters company is coordinating with the country's Defense Ministry a program of combat helicopters modernization based on the aircraft's performance during an anti-terror campaign in Syria, the design and manufacturing firm's deputy head said Thursday.
"We have an established program that is now being coordinated with the Russian Defense Ministry, and it would allow making minor or more significant adjustments to give our choppers more efficiency," Andrey Shibitov told journalists.On September 30, Moscow began its anti-terror campaign in Syria on Damascus' request, during which the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted precision airstrikes against Daesh, outlawed in many countries, including Russia.
In mid-March, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to start withdrawing most of Russia's military contingent from Syria after accomplishing its objective, while leaving a minor residual force.
Comment: Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu also
announced that Russia will form 3 new military divisions to counter NATO:
"The Ministry of Defence adopted a number of measures to counter the buildup of NATO forces close to Russia's borders," said the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation. "Until the end of the year, two new divisions will be formed in the western military district, and one in the southern military district. We are currently equipping the locations of these compounds," said Shoigu, concluding his statement.
The Kremlin also
announced that they are taking protective measures against the NATO missile defense. Those measures could possibly be some sort of electronic warfare designed to make the missile systems inoperable or ineffective. As it stands, Putin is clearly not sitting on his hands while the US Empire plots against him. He's going to make sure the Russian people are fully protected against the possible military action by the US/NATO.
