Vladimir Putin examined samples of advanced modern aviation technology, including the Kinzhal missile system, MiG and Su aircraft, and the Okhotnik-B, Inokhodets, Korsar and Forpost-R unmanned aerial vehicles. The Supreme Commander-in-Chief also examined air defence equipment – the Kasta 2-2B, Podlet and Valdai radar stations, the Fundament-M automated control system, the Pantsir family of air defence missiles, the Vityaz S-350 air defence missile system, the Tor-M2U combat vehicle, the Buk-M3 self-propelled missile system, and the S-300V4 air defence missile launcher.
