[London, 18th Archyde.com]-Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Borisov (in charge of military development) announced on the 18th that Russian troops are using next-generation laser weapons in combat in Ukraine. As Western nations provide Ukraine with a large amount of defense weapons, Russia has been found to be using the latest weapons, little known in reality, to attack.

In 2018, Russian President Putin announced the latest weapons such as a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), an underwater nuclear drone, a hypersonic weapon, and a new laser weapon. Little is known about the new laser weapon, but Putin mentioned a laser weapon named “Peresbet” after the medieval monk and soldier “Alexander Peresbet.”

Deputy Prime Minister Borisov said at a meeting in Moscow that day that Russian troops had already deployed Perezbet extensively. Peresbet has revealed that satellites 1500 kilometers above the surface of the earth can be shut down.

On top of that, the Russian army has weapons that can destroy drones (small unmanned aerial vehicles) more powerfully than Peresbet, and in a test conducted on the 17th, a drone 5 km away burned within 5 seconds. Expressed that it was done. “It can be shut down with Perezbet, but next-generation laser weapons can burn targets and physically destroy them,” he said.

When asked if he was introducing these new weapons to Ukraine, he said, “The first prototype is already in use in Ukraine,” and said the name of the weapon was “Zadilla.”

Little is known about Zadira, but in 2017 domestic media reported that Russia’s state-owned nuclear company Rosatom cooperated in the development.

Deputy Prime Minister Borisov also revealed that he had just visited Sarov in Nizhny Novgorod. Sarov was the center of nuclear weapons development known as “Alzamas 16” during the Soviet era.
