“Special attention should be paid to the nuclear triad, which has been and remains a guarantor of Russia's sovereignty and plays a key role in ensuring the balance of power in the world,” Putin said at a meeting on the State Armaments Program.
The share of modern weapons in Russia's strategic nuclear forces is 95%, which is the highest level among world's nuclear powers, the president added.
"This is a good indicator, in fact, it is the highest of all nuclear powers in the world,” Putin said
At the same time, Russian defense enterprises have multiplied production volumes in recent years with the support of the government, the president added.
About 10 years ago, Russia took essential steps to achieve the necessary level of the defense industrial complex's development, which provides opportunity to produce the needed volumes of weapons and equipment today, Putin also said.
