The share of modern missile systems in the Russian Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) will reach 100% by 2024, RSVN Commander Colonel-General Sergey Karakaev told the Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) newspaper, Eurasia Diary reports citing Tass News.
"By 2024, the share of modern missile systems will reach 100%, meaning that the Strategic Missile Forces will cross the line after which they will no longer have any obsolete Soviet-produced missile systems," Karakaev said.
He added that RSVN currently have seven types of missile systems. "Among them are four stationary-based systems: Voevoda, Stilet, Topol-M and Yars. The mobile group of missile systems includes Topol, Topol-M and Yars," he explained.
"In the nearest future, it is planned to gradually equip all rocket units with new missile systems Yars, Avangard and Sarmat," Karakaev noted.
