Borisov ruled out the disruption of the re-equipment of strategic nuclear forces
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, this process is a priority for the country, since it ensures world security. Earlier in November, Putin said Russia would continue to modernize its nuclear triad.
Disruption of work on strengthening Russia’s nuclear triad is impossible. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov, in charge of the defense-industrial complex (MIC), on the air of the program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin “on the TV channel” Russia 1 “, reports TASS.
“This (strengthening of nuclear forces. – RBK) is our priority, there cannot even be a prerequisite for a breakdown. Therefore, we are following this very carefully. This is, in general, world security, “Borisov said.
According to him, in the process of strengthening the control systems of nuclear forces, technical solutions of exclusively domestic production are used. “There should be a 100% guarantee that the control signal will be delivered, so this is only a domestic solution,” Borisov stressed.
On November 10, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with the leadership of the Defense Ministry, federal departments and defense industry enterprises, announced that the country would continue to modernize its nuclear forces. According to the head of state, the strategic nuclear forces have 82% of modern weapons. As an example, he cited the Yars complexes and the Avangard hypersonic missile system.
“In a number of strategic weapons, our country has gone far ahead of other leading military powers in the world,” Putin said. According to him, the Russian nuclear triad is the guarantor of the country’s security, in connection with which pressure and blackmail on Russia is senseless.
In October, Russia and the United States resumed their dialogue on nuclear deterrence and offensive arms reduction treaties (START and START III). Moscow agreed to Washington’s proposed freeze of nuclear arsenals to extend international agreements.
The Kremlin expects that in the near future there will be a meeting of Russian and American experts on nuclear weapons, who will be able to substantively agree on the extension of the agreements.
