Russian forces are set to begin receiving their newest nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) before the fall of this year, according to Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russiaâs Roscosmos Space Agency.
In a Saturday interview with the Russian state-run Rossiya 24 television channel, Rogozin said Russia expects to form its first regiment around its new RS-28 Sarmat missiles before the fall. According to the state-run TASS news agency, Rogozin said, âWe plan to do it before this fall â to form the first regiment using serial missiles delivered by our enterprises.â
Rogozin made the claim just days after Russia completed a test launch of the missile, projecting a relatively short timeline for the Russian forces to bring the weapon into its arsenal.
