US weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin has simulated a devastating attack of what appears to be their warplanes and surveillance systems against Russian forces.

In a promotional video, the weapons manufacturing giant – which supplies the US army with military equipment and weapons – boasts it has been developing autonomous vehicles "in near-secrecy" under the banner of Skunk Works for more than 60 years.

The clip shows motion graphics of a strike against a Russian S-400 missile defense system and Topol-M mobile intercontinental ballistic missile system, defence-blog.com reports.

It shows off various models of autonomous planes currently being designed at Lockheed Martin as well as its already active F-35 fighter jets.

"Persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned systems have been the hallmark of Lockheed Martin Skunk Works for more than six decades" a voiceover states.

"With much of this work completed in near-secrecy, the men and women of Skunk Works make it their mission to anticipate needs and imagine solutions that provide life-saving intelligence for our war-fighters and allies.
