"When preparing the list of capital construction projects for 2023, special attention will be paid to construction for strategic nuclear forces," he added.

 

Russia is in possession of the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, with a reported 6,000 warheads.

 

"At the moment, the construction of infrastructure facilities for the deployment of new missile systems has begun in five units of the Strategic Rocket Forces. As for the space forces, work continues on the creation of an interspecific test site in the Krasnoyarsk Territory," Shoigu underlined.

 

"Tornado-S long-range multiple rocket launcher and Malka high-power artillery systems are involved in the implementation of the plan. This makes it possible to effectively hit foreign rocket and artillery systems," he said.
