“In 2024, it is planned to bring the share of modern missile systems to 100%, that is, the Strategic Missile Forces will cross the line beyond which there will be no obsolete Soviet-made missile systems in the military,” he said in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.

Karakaev noted that in the near future, the Russian Ministry of Defense plans to begin the phased re-equipment of all missile compounds to the new Yars, Avangard and Sarmat missile systems.

At the end of November, the commander of the Strategic Missile Forces said that the combat units received more than 150 launchers of the Yars missile system.
