Russia’s nuclear arsenal is the key guarantor of its sovereignty, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, pledging that new weapons would soon enter into service. Putin made the statement in a speech during a meeting with the country’s senior defense officials.

The nuclear triad comprises missiles fired from aircraft, submarines, and ground-based mobile launchers and silos.

“We will continue to maintain and improve the combat-readiness of our nuclear triad. This is the main guarantee of preserving our sovereignty and territorial integrity, strategic parity, and the general balance of power in the world,” Putin said.
