As the Topol/SS-25 missiles are reaching end of their service lives and being removed from service, some missile divisions are being disbanded. So far, Kansk, Drovyanaya, and Yuriya (these are START names) have been liquidated. But some divisions will stay - mobile SS-27 missiles are being deployed in Teykovo and apparently the 59th Guard Missile Division in Irkutsk/Zelenyy will stay as well. According to General Linnik, the chief of armaments of the Rocket Forces, the division will soon receive new missiles, which would remain in service for the next 25-30 years.
