MOSCOW, December 9. /TASS/. Special attention in equipping the Russian Army is paid to the deliveries of advanced command and control, reconnaissance, electronic warfare and weapon systems, Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov said on Thursday.

"In order to boost the strike capabilities, maneuverability and autonomy of combined arms formations, work is underway to create principally new types of the armor based on the standardized Armata, Kurganets and Bumerang combat platforms," Russia’s military chief said at a briefing for foreign military attaches.
