MOSCOW (AP) - Russia has deployed a fresh batch of its top-of-the-line strategic nuclear missiles after a break caused by a funding shortage, and military officials presented ambitious plans Monday for building weapons even more potent.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov inaugurated the new set of Topol-M missiles at the Tatishchevo missile base in the central Saratov region Sunday, describing them as a ``21st-century weapon'' unrivaled in the world.
``This is the most advanced state-of-the-art missile in the world,'' Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said in remarks broadcast by Russian television stations Monday. ``Only such weapons can ensure and guarantee our sovereignty and security and make any attempts to put military pressure on Russia absolutely senseless.''
