The chief of Russia's strategic forces on Saturday attended the  
deployment of a new set of state-of-the art intercontinental  
ballistic missiles, boasting of their capability to penetrate any  
prospective missile defense, news reports said.

Col. Gen. Nikolai Solovtsov, chief of the Strategic Missile Forces,  
took part in a ceremony that marked the commissioning of the latest  
set of Topol-M missiles at a missile base in Tatishchevo in the Volga  
River's Saratov region.

Solovtsov said Saturday that the new missile "is capable of  
penetrating any missile defense system," the RIA Novosti and Interfax  
news agencies reported.

Russian officials have called prospective U.S. missile defenses  
destabilizing and boasted repeatedly that Russia's new missiles could  
pierce any nation's missile shield.

...The deployed Topol-Ms have been fitted with single nuclear  
warheads, but officials have considered plans to equip each missile  
with three individually targeted warheads.
