With the introduction of a whole range of state-of-the-art arms in recent years, Russia has been "able to make a step forward compared to the world's other military powers," Putin said during a meeting of the Russian Security Council on Friday.
The tally of the newest weapons and hardware in the possession of the country's Armed Forces and Navy is currently over 68 percent, he said, adding that they must be increased to at least 70 percent and maintained at that level.
The program for the development of the Russian military-industrial complex until 2033 will be approved next year for Russia to remain ahead of its rivals, the President said.
The emphasis in the plan must be put on "advanced high-precision weapons and means of aerospace defense; the active use of artificial intelligence in the production of military hardware," the President said.
The line of unmanned reconnaissance and attack aircraft, laser and hypersonic systems, weapons based on new physical principles, as well as robotic systems, capable of performing diverse tasks on the battlefield, should be expanded.Russia requires these futuristic arms because "the world is facing serious challenges and threats," while military technologies are developing rapidly, providing for tougher competition in the area, Putin explained.
