MoD Russia

In recent years, we have been implementing a large-scale Navy modernisation programme. From Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, Russia's shipyards are engaged in the serial production of both surface ships and new missile submarines, including the state-of-the-art Project Borei-A and Project Yasen-M vessels. Significant funds have been allocated for this.

I would like to stress that the Project Yasen-M cruise missile submarines come equipped with state-of-the-art navigation, communication, and hydroacoustic systems and armed with high-precision weaponry and robotic systems, and the Perm became the first multi-purpose submarine carrying the Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missiles

Our troops have recently conducted several swift, audacious, and effective operations and are now completing the rout of the enemy force grouping in the Kursk Region. In this regard, I will reiterate: according to the laws of the Russian Federation, any Ukrainian servicemen — not to mention foreign mercenaries — who invaded our land and committed crimes against the civilian population must be and are regarded as terrorists from a legal standpoint. The heinous acts they committed must be identified, recorded, and thoroughly investigated. I ask the officials of the Prosecutor General's Office, and specifically military prosecutors, to undertake efforts in that respect on a full scale in the liberated territories, including both Sudzha and other communities. All criminals, those who took part in reprisals, issued illegal orders or abused civilians must be identified and subsequently receive the punishment they deserve.
