“Successful work is underway on the development of promising missile defense. This will allow expanding combat capabilities and improving the characteristics of the new missile defense system in the near future, ”he said in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
Grabchuk also noted that the missile defense system is functioning reliably and is being successfully modernized.
“Anti-missiles are contained in silo-launchers at launch sites located around Moscow. In day-to-day operations, launch missions carry out scheduled anti-missile maintenance, ”he said.
In December 2019, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian leader Vladimir Putin about the deployment of a missile system with the Avangard hypersonic unit on alert.
