According to him, this may involve advanced developments being carried out at defense industry enterprises and specialized design bureaus. Such systems are expected to acquire strategic significance through the use of innovative technologies.
Korotchenko noted that the development of hypersonic technologies expands opportunities for creating modern missile systems and other next-generation weapons.
