Moscow, December 19 (Xinhua) – Russia has become a leader in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this on Friday during a direct line-in broadcast combined with his annual press conference.
"It must be said, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about, I think we've become the undisputed leader in this area [of drones]. In terms of the number of drones, yes, we lack heavy ones like the enemy's Baba Yaga, but overall, we currently outnumber the enemy in practically all sectors of the front. Perhaps there are specific areas where we're lacking something, but overall, it's an obvious fact," Putin said.
According to the Russian leader, Russia currently lacks heavy drones, but this problem will be solved. "It's well known that there's a shortage of heavy drones. The Ministry of Defense and industry are working on this, and this problem will also be solved," the Russian president noted.
The program "Year in Review with Vladimir Putin," which combines the head of state's major press conference and a live Q&A session, aired on Friday.
