Deployment of Topol-M Regiment Now Complete

December 16, 2004 :: RIA-Novosti :: News

RIA Novosti reports that Russia has now completed the deployment of another regiment of Topol-M (SS-27) ballistic missiles. The deployment is apparently the same as that begun in December of 2003. The head of Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces, Nikolai Solovtsov, was quoted as saying that the new silo-based regiment consisting of missiles is now “on full alert,” bringing the total number to forty.
        Pavel Podvig reports that as of today, four new Topol-Ms were deployed, in addition to the six deployed in December of 2003. These are also based at Tatishchevo in the Saratov region. Both RIA Novosti and Podvig call this the completion of the fourth regiment, although some reports last year termed it the fifth.  (Article)
