Some RVSN-news.

1) Plan is to reach 81% modern equipment this year (2019 - 76%), which will increase "nuclear deterrence missions capability"

2) Best units this year - 39 GMD (road-mobile, Yars/Yars-S), 62 MD (silo, Voyevoda, Sarmat planned)

1/
Because of new missiles entering service, SRF Military Academy has several new categories, with focus on silo-based systems:
- "Operation of control systems and testing and launching equipment for strategic missiles"
- "Application and operation of automated control systems"

2/
Looks rather Sarmat and Avangard specific.

And more - "Management of tests of weapons, military equipment at the test ranges of systems". This one sounds strange even in Russian, probably has something to do with test launches from deployment areas rather than test ranges.

The word is Putin will kick-off a traditional week of military-themed meetings today.

(h/t @dimsmirnov175 )
First Putin 'military meeting' this week will be on the nuclear triad, later today.

Here we go, Putin talking to military and industry about nuclear triad: kremlin.ru/events/preside…

Usual talking points, but this one is extremely important: "...our American partners have been given our proposals on the development of a new "security equation."

Nuclear #hyperhype, US-style!

warontherocks.com/2020/09/high-s…
"A dual-use Common Hypersonic Glide Body would close gaps in U.S. theater deterrence capabilities and offer scalable deployment options to assure allies."
"It would give the United States a tool for assured delivery of conventional and low-yield warheads that hedges against erosion of U.S. advantages in low-observable technology"

Second #MissileDialogueInitiative by @IISS_org and @AuswaertigesAmt was as good as one can get via Zoom. Lots of frank discussions. One of the interesting things: there are different perspectives on what is a bigger/more important challenge - land or sea/air systems.

1/
It is a challenge, and no definite answer: everyone has their own threat perceptions and priorities.

Here's an example:

A relies on land, B relies on air/sea;
B has better, faster, more precise flying and floating things; in greater numbers;
A starts to...

2/
...increase all these characteristics for their rolling things+their survivability;
suddently B realizes that A can hit their flying and floating things and their infrastructure with their rollers, and gets nervous.

Now drop some defensive assets in the mix...
