Silo-based Yars regiment in Kozelsk begins combat duty

According to a statement of the commander of the Vladimir missile army, the Kozelsk regiment of silo-based RS-24 Yars missiles began combat duty.

This probably means that the deployment of all ten missiles in Kozelsk is finally completed. The first two missiles were installed in silos in August 2014. The total of four missiles had been deployed at the end of 2014, and six were to be installed in silos in 2015.

I wonder how many more silo-based yars will be deployed. How do these new silos(the silos themselves, not the missile) differ from older silos?

I haven't seen any numbers. It would be reasonable to expect that the Kozelsk division will have at least 20-30 missiles.
