Silo version of RS-24 Yars to be deployed in Tatishchevo and Kozelsk

More news about upcoming ICBM deployments, this time about silo version of RS-24 Yars. According to Sergey Karakayev, these missiles will be deployed in Tatishchevo as well as in Kozelsk.

The Kozelsk news is not a news - the plan to deploy Yars missiles there goes back several years. The first Yars regiment there began combat duty in December 2015 and silo construction continues apace.

As for Tatishchevo, until recently the division was deploying Topol-M missiles in its silos - seven regiments were said to be operational there in February 2015. It appears that at least 20 Yars missiles will be deployed there in silos that were until recently used for UR-100NUTTH.
