Strategic unit receives 2 Topol-M launchers

Topol-M (SS-27)A unit of Russia’s strategic missile forces located in the Volga region has received two new Topol-M mobile launchers, a Defense Ministry official told reporters Tuesday.

He added that by the end of the year, another three launchers will be delivered to the unit.

According to military experts, Topol-M missiles render US anti-missile systems practically useless. The Defense Ministry’s program envisages equipping all of Russia’s strategic missile units with Topol-M systems by 2021.
