Russia may have trouble producing these weapons.
On October 30, a fire broke out at the Central Research Institute of Special Machine Building, an enterprise crucial to Russia's military-industrial complex, in the town of Khotkovo near Moscow.
The fire started during testing of equipment in the shop.
Videos of the fire were published by the ‘Crimean Wind’ Telegram channel.
It is claimed that the Central Research Institute of Special Machine Building specialises in the production of structures from polymer composite materials. The products manufactured by the institute are used in rocket construction, transport, petrochemical and energy industries.
The main priority is the production of containers and composite materials for Topol missile systems, which can be equipped with nuclear charges. Ariane and Proton launch vehicles are created with the assistance of the Research Institute.
