The Russian Navy is to be armed with hypersonic nuclear strike weapons and underwater nuclear drones.
This is according to the Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, during the country's annual Navy Day parade in Saint Petersburg.
By hypersonic nuclear strike weapon, he means the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile, which can be deployed on surface ships.
The underwater nuclear drone is the Poseidon underwater nuclear drone that is designed to be carried by submarines.
Putin said the deployment of such advanced digital tech will give the fleet "increased combat capabilities."
According to Russian news agencies, Moscow's defense ministry says testing of the new weapons systems is nearing completion.
