Russian hypersonic missile scientists have warned the Kremlin that their research could collapse after security services detained their colleagues for treason.
The scientists told the Russian government they cannot continue with their work unless the FSB stops arresting researchers at their Siberian institute.
The rare act of protest, which came in a pointed open letter, raises further questions over Russia’s ability to develop the hi-tech weaponry it needs for its war in Ukraine.
