Ivanov: Russia is developing nano weapons

In Russia, work is underway on the creation of weapons and military equipment using nanotechnology. As Interfax reports, this was stated at a meeting of the Government Commission on High Technologies and Innovation of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government Sergey Ivanov. "Work in the field of using nanotechnologies in the military -industrial complex, in the production of modern weapons, military and special equipment are conducted. The results, including very good ones, are already," Ivanov said.

According to him, the results achieved by Russian scientists are not a purely scientific, but an applied character. “I am already familiar with some samples,” Ivanov said. He emphasized that the government pays special attention to this direction and will, as before, finance these development.

"Domestic and foreign military experts agree that their use is one of the breakthrough directions for the development of weapons, communications, military equipment, radiation, biological, chemical intelligence and military medicine," Ivanov said.

In December last year, the first international forum on nanotechnology was held in Moscow. “Not everything that we have in this area was exhibited for well -known reasons,” the Deputy Prime Minister said. Turning to the members of the commission, he asked them to take into account the secrecy of the development in his speeches and not talk openly about some aspects. "
