Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting of the board of the Russian Defence Ministry that the share of modern ships in the Russian nuclear triad has reached 100%.
Sergei Shoigu said that three newest nuclear-powered submarine cruisers of the Borei-A project have already joined the Russian Navy.
“Particular attention is paid to building up the naval strategic nuclear forces. Three newest nuclear-powered submarine cruisers of the Borei-A project have already entered the combat composition of the Navy. <…> The share of modern ships in the nuclear triad has reached 100%,” the head of the Russian defence ministry said.
According to him, the state testing of the Emperor Alexander III strategic missile submarine, which is intended for the Pacific Fleet, is also being completed.
In total, since 2018, more than 130 ships, combat boats and support vessels have been added to the composition of the fleets and the Caspian Flotilla, Shoigu summarised.
We will remind, earlier deputy CEO of Rostec Vladimir Artyakov said that the global popularity of Russian Su-35 fighter jets, Ka-52 helicopters, T-90 tanks, heavy flamethrower systems and barrage munitions on the arms market has increased against the background of their use in special operations on the territory of Ukraine.
