At the same time 99% of the launchers are in constant combat readiness.
Almost all launchers of Russian missiles are in a state of combat readiness and, if necessary, can be started immediately.
This was stated by the Minister of defence of Russia Sergey Shoigu.
According to the Minister, 99% of the launchers are in constant combat readiness, and 96% of the missiles for immediate launch. Shoigu also said that in recent years the nuclear weapons States (the nuclear triad) was upgraded and modified.
“She is now equipped with modern weapons by 60%,” – said Shoigu.
Part of the nuclear triad included components of the armed forces of the state, ready to strike with nuclear weapons. Traditionally these include ballistic missiles, strategic aircraft and submarines equipped with missile weapons.
Recall that allies of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Russia and Iran threaten to use force in response to “any crossing of red lines” in Syria, no matter who does it.
Recall, the press Secretary of the White house Sean Spicer has previously said that the regime of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad had committed serious crimes against the civilian population, so Russia should stop its support and get on the right side of history.
