Also, the interlocutor of the agency noted that the research work “Kedr” can be described as “work within the framework of the modernization of strategic weapons.” “If it turns into development work after a while, then it will be possible to speak substantively,” the source said.
The journalists noted that at present, the Strategic Missile Forces have the Topol, Topol-M and Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Also, there is a rearmament on the Avangard hypersonic missile systems.

According to Ivanov, work on the creation of a superweapon was carried out for ten years and cost the state 10-20 billion rubles a year.
