It was planned that the solid-propellant "Cedar" missiles would replace the "Yars" complexes in service with the Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) by 2030. The new ICBMs, like the "Yars," will be both stationary (silo-based) and mobile.

Currently, the "Topol," "Topol-M," and "Yars" are in the combat composition of the Strategic Missile Forces. The nuclear strategic submarines of projects 955 and 955A "Borei" are armed with "Bulava" missiles. Re-equipment is underway for the promising hypersonic complexes of stationary basing "Avangard," which have improved indicators for overcoming missile defense.
