In the Strategic Missile Forces the rearmament of two missile units is being completed.

2012 completed the re-equipment of the Teikovsky missile formation (Ivanovo region) to the newest mobile ground-based missile systems (PGRK) of the Topol-M and Yars of the 2006 generation completed with 5. Two missile regiments of this compound are reequipped on the Topol-M PGRK, two more rocket regiments are in combat duty at the Yars PGRK equipped with the RS-24 ICBM with a divided warhead. At present, the Teikov missile compound is the first in the Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN), fully re-equipped on the PGRK of the 5 generation.

Also in 2012, work began on the rearmament of the Novosibirsk and Kozelsky (Kaluga region) missile formations to the Yars missile system (RK). And in the last of these compounds, the deployment of the RK "Yars" will be carried out in the mine version.

In the future, the Yars RC also planned the re-equipment of a number of missile formations.

In addition, at the end of December 2012, the re-equipment of the sixth rocket regiment of the Tatishchevsky (Saratov region) missile compound to the Topol-M missile complex will be completed. Thus, the program of reequipment of the Strategic Missile Forces to the Topol-M missile system will be completed.

By the end of 2012, the strike force will be located near 100 launchers with new Topol-M and Yars missile systems. Thus, in recent years, the share of modern weapons in the Strategic Missile Forces has approached 30%.

At the same time, the development of the Strategic Missile Forces consists not only in re-equipping the troops to new missile systems, but also in creating new infrastructure for positional areas of rocket regiments, allowing for better conditions for the operation of rocket weapons, training of duty forces, personnel service (combat duty) and recreation .

Along with upgrading to new missile systems, in 2012, the troops continued active work on modernizing the existing and building new command posts, equipping the troops with modern and advanced communications systems and command and control, security, and other modern weapons and equipment.

All this is very good. But Poplars and YaRSs are light-class missiles. Need a replacement for Satan and URam.
Give me a new heavy rocket!

Production of the new 100-ton liquid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) will begin before the end of this year, retired Colonel-General Viktor Esin, consultant to the commander of the Strategic Missile Forces.
"In early October, the Russian Defense Ministry generally approved the draft design of the new missile, some points were entrusted to the designers for revision. The production of the missile will begin before the end of the year," Yesin said, adding that development work had already begun, RIA Novosti reported.
Earlier, the commander of the Strategic Missile Forces Sergei Karakaev told the agency that Russia will create a new heavy 100-ton ICBM by 2018. It will replace the R-36M2 Voevoda heavy ballistic missile known throughout the world, known in the West as Satan, with a payload of up to 10 tons. Prior to that, all the latest Russian developments of intercontinental ballistic missiles - both sea-based (Bulava) and land-based (Topol-M, Yars) - were solid-fuel.
"In early October, the Russian Defense Ministry generally approved the draft design of the new missile, some points were entrusted to the designers for revision. The production of the missile will begin before the end of the year," Yesin said, adding that development work had already begun.
The interlocutor of the agency refused to comment on the question of what improvements the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation indicated, citing state secret.

That's good! I am glad that we are slowly getting to our feet and from this our enemies are sad !!!

In connection with the activation of international destructive forces, which for various reasons wish to redistribute the world, and since Russia is the object of this redistribution, owing to its security with all kinds of resources, it is necessary to speed up the modernization of the Russian strategic nuclear forces, and with all the determination to be ready to use them even first, in order to prevent aggression against it. Therefore, I welcome and warmly applaud the above news!

How good at heart. Such news should be broadcast daily on all news channels, including and in English Rush. They must be watched by Mr. McCain and the rest of the obscurantists from Yuski. And if these gentlemen faint from diarrhea and break their foreheads as recently as H. Clinton, then the task of incapacitating the enemy’s manpower by propaganda will be completed.
More enemies need to see this daily ...

I wonder how much the number of warheads has decreased ??? After such an upgrade
