Russia will reactivate ballistic missile silos around Moscow as part of the program aimed at modernizing the missile defense network protecting the Russian capital, RIA-Novosti reports referring to the former chief of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces, Viktor Yesin.
The A-135 (NATO: ABM-3) anti-ballistic missile network is deployed around Moscow to counter enemy missiles targeting the city or its surrounding areas. It became operational in 1995.
“The A-135 system is being thoroughly modernized… The missiles and other elements, including detection and tracking components, are being upgraded,” RIA-Novosti quotes Yesin's words.
