Topol service life confirmed at 25 years

According to the ministry of defense report, the launch of a Topol/SS-25 missile conducted during the May 8th exercise of strategic forces confirmed the extension of service life of the missile to 25 years.

It was reported earlier that Topol missiles will stay in service until 2021 - this appears to assume that some missiles were produced in 1996.
