The air defense of the Russian ground forces is moving to a uniform standard. The armed forces will begin large-scale replacement of outdated air defense weapons in 2022. The Defense Ministry has ordered large-scale Standard R&D. It will design a new line of antiaircraft weapons and engagement concept for air defense units. New weapons have to be uniform and standard to the maximum. They will be united into a single integrated system to increase efficiency. The ministry appropriated nearly half a billion rubles only for R&D. Experts believe the upgraded air defense will increase the potential of the Ground Forces, the Izvestia daily writes.
