“In the Strategic Missile Forces, 99% of launchers are in combat-ready condition, of which 96% are in constant readiness for immediate launch,” Shoigu said.
According to him, last year the strategic aviation nuclear forces were replenished with four modernized strategic long-range aircraft Tu-160 and TU-95 MS. The group of naval strategic nuclear forces of the Pacific Fleet has been strengthened by the strategic missile submarine cruiser "Vladimir Monomakh"
“41 new ballistic missiles have been delivered to the Armed Forces. This made it possible to achieve 60% saturation of the entire nuclear triad with modern weapons. In the strategic missile forces – 62%,” Shoigu said.
