Russia to Deploy Fifth Topol-M Ballistic Missile Regiment

November 1, 2003 :: Jane's Information Group :: News

Janes Missiles and Rockets reports that Russia will be deploying a fifth regiment of the Topol-M ICBMs. The regiment will have the RS-12M2 Topol-M (SS-X-27) and is set to become operational in December 2003. 
        According to Janes, Russia’s original plan to deploy one additional Topol-M regiment every year, to replace the older SS-17 and SS-18s, was not feasible—hence, one may infer, the recent testing and announcements to extend the service lives of the SS-17s and SS-18s for as much as fifteen years. The rate is now set to about one every 24-30 months.
