>Russia deploys new nuclear missiles
>
>The Topol-M is an upgrade of the earlier Topol missile, seen here
>
>Russia has deployed 10 new intercontinental nuclear missiles, known as
>Topol-M, and put them on full combat readiness.
>The new single-warhead missiles will be based in the Saratov region
>about 700km south-east of Moscow.
>
>The Russian Defence Minister, Igor Sergeyev, said they would keep intact
>Russia's nuclear potential for the foreseeable future.
>
>"This is a very important event, because even in the difficult financial
>conditions of 1998 we have managed to find funds for financing this top
>priority area," Mr Sergeyev said.
>
>Mr Sergeyev said that the adoption of the Topol-M system would preserve
>Russia's security and independence by keeping its missile and nuclear
>potential intact for the foreseeable future.
>
>'Shield for 21st century'
>
>The foundations for "Russia's missile and nuclear shield" for the 21st
>century are being laid today, the minister added.
>
>Correspondents say the Topol-M could be the new heart of Russia's
>missile force. A futher 10 missiles are due to be commissioned within
>the next 12 months, and another 20 the following year.
>
>The Topol-M is a long-range single warhead intercontinental ballistic
>missile, but it is lightweight and mobile, designed to be fired from a
>vehicle.
>
>Its mobility means it is better protected than a silo-based missile from
>a pre-emptive first strike.
>
>Deteriorating relations
>
>The deployment comes at a time of deteriorating relations between Russia
>and the West. Moscow opposes the expansion of Nato membership into
>eastern Europe. It also opposes NATO action in the former Yugoslavia.
>
>Last week, Russia accused the United States and the United Kingdom of
>flagrantly violating international law and endangering international
>security by bombing Iraq, in the face of Moscow's opposition on the
>United Nations Security Council.
>
>When the attacks began, Russia's parliament voted almost unanimously to
>delay indefinitely the ratification of Start II, the latest round of
>strategic arms reduction agreements.
