Faced with external aggression from NATO, Russia has significantly improved the characteristics of its sought-after weapons over the past three years. This was announced on April 1 by Sergey Naryshkin, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

"Over the past three years, our country, faced with external aggression from the countries of the odious NATO bloc, has managed not only to expand the production of sought—after weapons, but also to significantly improve their characteristics," Naryshkin said at a round table dedicated to the contribution of scientists to the victory in the Great Patriotic War.
