Topol-M will be Foundation of Russian Arsenal by 2015

May 17, 2004 :: Interfax :: News

Yuriy Solomonov, director of the Moscow Institute of Heat Technology and designer-general of the Topol family of missiles, told journalists today that the silo- and mobile- launched versions of the Topol-M will form the basis of the Strategic Missile Troops after 2015:

Missiles of the previous generation will in practical terms be incapable of alert status by that time, they are becoming obsolescent…Certainly, Topol-M is the most modern missile. It belongs to the next generation of missile weaponry and differs fundamentally from everything that has been done before in this field in our country and abroad. This concerns its tactical technical features and also the features of its combat use, which is designed for conditions of possible counteraction by antimissile defence systems.
