President Putin calls for modernization of Russian military weapons - BBC News



President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the weapons used by Russia's military should be modernised.

The Russian leader talked of competition between manufacturers and developers.

However, Ukraine's main intelligence unit has claimed that Iran is preparing to send more combat drones and new ballistic missile systems to Moscow.

Putin's comments come just days after Russia launched more than 50 missiles targeting critical facilities in Ukraine.
