BELGOROD. Sep 14 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian President Vladimir Putin disagrees with critics who say that Russia's defense complex is fueled by Soviet-era developments.
"Recently, we tested the world's most powerful non-nuclear charge - a latest development. There are many of them in aviation, space, and conventional types of weapons," Putin said during a session of the Council on the Implementation of National Projects in Belgorod.
Putin agreed with Liberal-Democratic Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky that this tendency existed about five years ago.
