Russia ready to produce 6 - 7 Topol-M missiles per year

Russia is capable of producing six or seven Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) per year, First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said.

"We count on the fact that we can afford six-seven [missiles, with complexes], if we speak about RVSN [the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces] and ground strategic nuclear forces. We count on the fact that this is acceptable given real possibilities," Ivanov said at a meeting with veterans of the military and industrial commission at the Soviet Council of Ministers on Friday.

Ivanov also said that Russia will not be able to produce 30 Topol-M complexes per year, and this figure is redundant.
