New missiles can 'rip apart' US anti-missile systems: Russia
Russia is close to deploying advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that can defeat any US missile defence system, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said in an interview. The existing deterrent forces will remain in use until the latest arsenal becomes operational, he added. Notably, ICBMs can carry a payload of up to 10 tons and weigh about 100 tons.
