The head of the State Duma Defense Committee, Andrey Kartapolov, said that the Russian nuclear triad continues to be equipped with modern weapons. He said this in an interview with DEA News.
According to Kartapolov, this is the main guarantee of Russia’s security and global stability.
At a time when the world is going through a complex transformation process, its deterrence remains the main guarantee not only of the security of the Russian Federation, but also of global world stability,” he said.
The parliamentarian noted that Russia continues to strengthen its defense capacity. Kartapolov pointed out that a missile regiment equipped with the Avangard missile system with a hypersonic floating wing unit undertakes combat duty. He also recalled the successful launches of the Sarmat complex, which made it possible to start work on its deployment.
The chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee noted that the nuclear triad is kept at a level that will provide strategic deterrence.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin at the extended meeting of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation formulated strengths of the country. According to him, these are the nuclear triad, the military space forces (VKS) and the navy (Navy).
