MOSCOW -- President Vladimir Putin says that Russia has developed unique offense weapons without the intention of starting a war with anyone but to maintain "strategic balance" and "strategic stability" in the world.

"We are not going to fight against anyone. We are going to create conditions so that nobody wants to fight against us," Putin said in an interview with the state-run Tass news agency, a part of which was released Monday.

Russia has created "offensive strike systems the world has never seen," and which are forcing the U.S. to try to catch up, Putin told Tass.

As an example, the president mentioned new "hypersonic offensive systems" — a weapon that can fly 27 times the speed of sound that became operational late last year. He said that in the past 20 years the share of modern equipment in the Russian military has grown from 6% to 70%.

"It is essential not only for us, but also for global security," Putin concluded.

I mean, in fairness, Russians do have some cool weapons

AK-12 and ASh-12.7 comes to mind.

No, I'm not a gun nut, I have no idea what you're talking about

I kinda dislike how Russia is the default villain in all these Call of Duty games. Where's the creativity?

Good luck with that, the USA doesn't take such things into account and everybody else already doesn't wanna fight you

They're not the only country with hypersonic weapons are they? I seem to remember US and China developing them too.

Popping into these threads accidentally posted in gaming and seeing all the awful gaming jokes for the first 30 posts really makes me hate Era. Lol.

Boasting how your armies new shiny weapons are defensive, is like American gun nuts, with semi automatic rifles and more, pretending they need their guns for self defence.
