MOSCOW, December 9 (AVN) - Central Research Institute 15 of the Defence Ministry has held a conference to discuss development of new engineering equipment for the Russian Armed Forces, Institute Director Alexander Averchenko said on Thursday.
It is the first time the institute invites famous non-staff scientists to discuss its future development, Averchenko told the Military News Agency.

The key point of the event was the speech delivered by Doctor of Technology Anatoly Dolgolaptev. He took the floor to report about the use of superhigh-frequency generators for dissociation of rocks.
