Rostec showed what Russian military equipment could look like if the weapons were the heroes of myths.
The heroes for the series of images were chosen by voting, and then the designers turned the samples of military equipment into combat monsters. Thus, the Mi-28N helicopter, nicknamed the "Night Hunter", became a bat, the Msta-S howitzer turned into a wild boar, and the Tornado-S MLRS — into a Volgatitan dinosaur.
The corporation explained that the purpose of creating such a series of images was to show the "the formidable essence of Russian weapons".
